This is a new driver for the DC electronic loads made by ITECH. It
would seem ITECH is the OEM manufacturer of BK Precision 8500 series
loads (their programming specs are pretty much identical and units
look identical except logos), so those BK Precision units should work
with that driver "as is"...

I've been testing the driver using ITECH IT8511+ which reports itself
as "8511" via the (TTL) serial interface:

# ./sigrok-cli -d itech-it8500:conn=/dev/ttyUSB1:serialcomm=38400/8n1 --scan
The following devices were found:
itech-it8500 - ITECH 8511 1.13 [S/N: 0717xxxxxx] with 3 channels: V1 I1 P1
# ./sigrok-cli -d itech-it8500:conn=/dev/ttyUSB1:serialcomm=38400/8n1
--scan -l 3

The following devices were found:
itech-it8500 - ITECH 8511 1.13 [S/N: 0717xxxxxx] with 3 channels: V1 I1 P1


Patches are available at (it's split into two patches):

Any comments most welcome. I tried to follow the recommended
guidelines and used the existing (electronic load) drivers as model
for this driver.
