The MAX197 is an A/D converter, made by Maxim. This driver currently
supports the MAX197, and MAX199. They are both 8-Channel, Multi-Range,
5V, 12-Bit DAS with 8+4 Bus Interface and Fault Protection.

The available ranges for the MAX197 are {0,-5V} to 5V, and {0,-10V} to
10V, while they are {0,-2V} to 2V, and {0,-4V} to 4V on the MAX199.

Applied to -next.

Hm, now it's probably to late, but for this kind of general purpose ADC the IIO
framework is in my opinion the better place to add support for it.

Possibly. If someone writes an iio driver for it, and everyone agrees,
we can drop it from hwmon at that time.
