- Operate with the internal 2.5V reference - set to N for external reference
-* vref_mv: int (default 2500)

+Description
+-----------
+
+The DA9055 provides an Analogue to Digital Converter (ADC) with 10 bits
+resolution and track and hold circuitry combined with an analogue input
+multiplexer. The analogue input multiplexer will allow conversion of up to 5
+different inputs. The track and hold circuit ensures stable input voltages at
+the input of the ADC during the conversion.
+
+The ADC is used to measure the following inputs:
+Channel 0: VDDOUT - measurement of the system voltage
+Channel 1: ADC_IN1 - high impedance input (0 - 2.5V)
+Channel 2: ADC_IN2 - high impedance input (0 - 2.5V)
+Channel 3: ADC_IN3 - high impedance input (0 - 2.5V)
+Channel 4: Internal Tjunc. - sense (internal temp. sensor)
+
+By using sysfs attributes we can measure the system voltage VDDOUT,
+chip junction temperature and auxiliary channels voltages.
+
+Voltage Monitoring
+------------------
+
+Voltages are sampled in a AUTO mode it can be manually sampled too and results
+are stored in a 10 bit ADC.
+
+The system voltage is calculated as:
+ Milli volt = ((ADC value * 1000) / 85) + 2500
+
+The voltages on ADC channels 1, 2 and 3 are calculated as:
+ Milli volt = (ADC value * 1000) / 102
+
+Temperature Monitoring
+----------------------
+
+Temperatures are sampled by a 10 bit ADC. Junction temperatures
+are monitored by the ADC channels.
+
+The junction temperature is calculated:
+ Degrees celsius = -0.4084 * (ADC_RES - T_OFFSET) + 307.6332
+The junction temperature attribute is supported by the driver.

+Description
+-----------
+
+Versatile Express platform (http://www.arm.com/versatileexpress/) is a
+reference & prototyping system for ARM Ltd. processors. It can be set up
+from a wide range of boards, each of them containing (apart of the main
+chip/FPGA) a number of microcontrollers responsible for platform
+configuration and control. Theses microcontrollers can also monitor the
+board and its environment by a number of internal and external sensors,
+providing information about power lines voltages and currents, board
+temperature and power usage. Some of them also calculate consumed energy
+and provide a cumulative use counter.
+
+The configuration devices are _not_ memory mapped and must be accessed
+via a custom interface, abstracted by the "vexpress_config" API.
+
+As these devices are non-discoverable, they must be described in a Device
+Tree passed to the kernel. Details of the DT binding for them can be found
+in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/vexpress.txt.
