I pulled your patches, added two lines to the devicetree and it works fine,
I'm seeing plausible results:
root@topic-miami:/sys/class/hwmon# grep . */*
hwmon0/name:battery-gauge
hwmon0/temp1_input:291700
hwmon1/in0_input:3258
hwmon1/in1_input:1824
hwmon1/in2_input:1916
hwmon1/in3_input:1512
hwmon1/in4_input:2066
hwmon1/name:ltc2990
hwmon1/temp1_input:28062
hwmon1/uevent:OF_NAME=ltc2990
hwmon1/uevent:OF_FULLNAME=/gpios-i2c@50/ltc2990@4c

hwmon2/uevent:OF_COMPATIBLE_0=ltc2990
hwmon2/uevent:OF_COMPATIBLE_N=1


As you can see, two ltc2990 on two busses, one measuring current and one
measuring 4 independent voltages.

I also like your implementation of the mode setting better, it's much simpler
than mine. And you've solved a bug in the temperature reading as well.



Kind regards,
