    Hi Nuno Sá,

    Thanks for looking over the patch.

    Yes, this device is at the boundary between IIO and HWMON if you are
    looking just at the "shunt resistors, vsense, power, energy". The
    device also has ADC internaly that can measure voltages (up to 4
    channels) and also currents (up to 4 channels). Current is measured as
    voltage across the shunt_resistor.

    As I said before: I was thinking to start with a simple driver (this
    one that is more apropiate to be a HWMON) and add more functionality
    later (like data buffering that is quite important for example if
    someone wants to profile power consumtion of the procesor itself, or a
    pheriperic, or a battery, this kind of functionality was requested by
    our customers).
