Which obviously, from reading the source code, is wrong - it uses microohms. Also, the current Description contains IMHO irrelevant stuff: "The value of the shunt resistor may be known only at runtime fom an eeprom content read by a client application." > Ah, subtle filename difference.

My grep foo failed me here, the only parts I could find are the MAX9611 (which specifies and uses ohms) and the INA2xx. adc/qcom-spmi-iadc.c allows to read the RSENSE value from device tree (specified in microohms), but does not expose it via sysfs. Can you point me to other devices? Slightly off-topic: Some attributes in iio are read from device-tree (e.g. shunt resistor values), should the iio documentation point to the dt bindings? Currently, only mount_matrix in sysfs-bus-iio vaguely mentions device-tree.

In microohms.
