Will make order explicit.

I think that this is shared component.

Will remove driver details.

Yes.

Badly worded. Just, "End of conversion interrupt"?

Internal - when using chip build-in resistor
External - when using off-chip resistor

Sorry. I have tried to make it better. Now looking again DT files
in codeaurora tree I see that 0 is used in pm8941, 1 is used in
pm8110 and 2 is used for pm8226. So I will remove this property
and handle this inside driver based on chip version.

Yes, I need to add it.

Driver register only one IIO channel, so #io-channel-cells
should be <0>.

Thank you for the comments.
