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.
