Hi Guenter,

I have one claim stating that your change won't make a difference,
and your claim that it would. That leaves me with no choice but to
spend a large amount of time with the datasheet, and possibly with
my evaluation boards, trying to find out who is correct. Unfortunately,
time is scarce to come by those days. I would very much prefer for
you folks to sort out your differences and present me with a single
opinion.

Long term the best solution would really be to replace the hwmon
driver with the iio driver and use the iio-hwmon bridge. The ina2xx
driver doesn't support limits, so there is no real benefit of using
the hwmon driver over the iio driver, at least assuming that the
iio driver supports all the attributes. So maybe you should make your
case for the changes in the iio driver.
Thanks for the input. Let's drop this hwmon change then.
