+binding for LTC2941, LTC2942, LTC2943 and LTC2944 battery gauges
+
+All chips measure battery capacity.
+The LTC2942 is pin compatible with the LTC2941, it adds voltage and
+temperature monitoring, and is runtime detected. LTC2943 and LTC2944
+is software compatible, uses a slightly different conversion formula
+for the charge counter and adds voltage, current and temperature monitoring.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Should contain "lltc,ltc2941", "lltc,ltc2942", "lltc,ltc2943"
+ or "lltc,ltc2944" which also indicates the type of I2C chip attached.
+- reg: The 7-bit I2C address.
+- lltc,resistor-sense: The sense resistor value in milli-ohms. Can be a 32-bit
+ negative value when the battery has been connected to the wrong end of the
+ resistor.
+- lltc,prescaler-exponent: The prescaler exponent as explained in the datasheet.
+ This determines the range and accuracy of the gauge. The value is programmed
+ into the chip only if it differs from the current setting. The setting is
+ lost when the battery is disconnected.
+
+Example from the Topic Miami Florida board:
+
+ fuelgauge: ltc2943@64 {
+ compatible = "lltc,ltc2943";
+ reg = <0x64>;
+ lltc,resistor-sense = <15>;
+ lltc,prescaler-exponent = <5>; /* 2^(2*5) = 1024 */
+ };
