The Allwinner SoCs all have an ADC that can also act as a touchscreen
controller and a thermal sensor. For now, only the ADC and the thermal
sensor drivers are probed by the MFD, the touchscreen controller support
will be added later.

Hmm. Previous patch includes the header this one creates.  Ordering issue?
The depends kind of prevents build failures by ensuring that can't be built
until this one is in place, but it is certainly an ugly way to do it.

Few little bits innline.

v2:
 - add license headers,
 - reorder alphabetically includes,
 - add SUNXI_GPADC_ prefixes for defines,

I still really dislike using this to force the probe of that driver but
kind of up to the hwmon / mfd guys on this.
Can you at least say *why* you don't like it?
It just feels odd to have an mfd child that isn't really dependent
on the mfd hardware itself.

Still if you are happy, mfd is your domain and my objections were
as you probably noticed not that strong - or well described!)

So I'm fine with this.
I see.  So it's not actually part of the same IP/chip?
The chip has a temperature sensor, and we want to expose that
temperature through IIO.

But we don't really have the choice on how we probe iio-hwmon
here. The binding was already there, and we have to keep it.
What binding?
The binding introduced for the original driver this serie aims to
replace:
