From: Wadim Mueller <redacted> Add an IIO driver for the Sensirion SLF3S family of digital liquid-flow sensors. The supported sub-types (SLF3S-0600F, SLF3S-4000B) share the same register map and command set and are distinguished only by the flow scale; the variant is detected at probe time from the product-information register. The driver exposes two IIO channels: - in_volumeflow_raw / in_volumeflow_scale (litres per second) - in_temp_raw / in_temp_scale (milli-degC) Continuous measurement mode is started in probe and stopped via devm-action; read_raw() fetches the most recent sample on demand.
