hwmon: (adm1275) Allow setting shunt reg value
The ADM series of hotswap controllers support extending the current measurement range by using a sensing resistor value other than the typical 1 mOhm. For example, using a 0.5 mOhm sensing resistor doubles the maximal current can be measured. Current driver assumes a shunt resistor value of 1 mOhm in calculation, meaning for other resistor values, hwmon will report scaled current/power measurements. This patch parses device tree parameter "shunt-resistor-micro-ohms", if there is one. Signed-off-by: Kun Yi <kunyi@google.com> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>
