Ira W. Snyder df16dd53c5 hwmon: (ltc4245) Read only one GPIO pin
Read only one of the GPIO pins as an analog voltage. The ADC can be
switched to a different GPIO pin at runtime, but this is not supported.

Previously, this driver would report the analog voltage of the currently
selected GPIO pin as all three GPIO voltages: in9_input, in10_input and
in11_input.

Description
-----------
The LTC4245 controller allows a board to be safely inserted and removed
from a live backplane in multiple supply systems such as CompactPCI and
PCI Express.
Usage Notes
-----------
This driver does not probe for LTC4245 devices, due to the fact that some
of the possible addresses are unfriendly to probing. You will have to
instantiate the devices explicitly.
Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4245 at address 0x23
on I2C bus #1:
$ modprobe ltc4245
$ echo ltc4245 0x23 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
Sysfs entries
-------------
The LTC4245 has built-in limits for over and under current warnings. This
makes it very likely that the reference circuit will be used.
This driver uses the values in the datasheet to change the register values
into the values specified in the sysfs-interface document. The current readings
rely on the sense resistors listed in Table 2: "Sense Resistor Values".
