    Good patch, thanks, I've applied it. The only change I made is:

    > + * (type=5) Analog Devices evaluation boards: ADM1025, ADM103[01]

    I expanded it to "ADM1025, ADM1030, ADM1031", because I think it's
    important to be able to just grep chip names in the documentation files
    (or source code, for that matter.)

    Thanks,
