PATCH v3 2/2 iio: adc: hx711: Add IIO driver for AVIA HX711

This is the IIO driver for AVIA HX711 ADC which ist mostly used in weighting cells.

The protocol is quite simple and using GPIOs:
One GPIO is used as clock (SCK) while another GPIO is read (DOUT)

The raw value read from the chip is delivered.
To get a weight one needs to subtract the zero offset and scale it.

If you reset the device before each conversion wont this clear the channel and gain selection? Wouldn't the driver always read from channel A at 128 gain regardless of what has been selected?

Typically the reference voltage is specified through the devicetree using a regulator. Have a look at e.g. ad7291.c.

I don't think that is necessary. On one hand when doing these kind of single shot conversions there is often not a predictable pattern on the other hand such custom device specific attributes are difficult to handle in a generic framework. We try to establish standard semantics so a generic application is able to talk to a wide range of devices. When a device implements custom attributes that becomes more difficult.

And there is also buffered mode. In buffered mode the application can select the channels which the converter should cycle through and connect a trigger like a timer to schedule the conversions. If switching between A and B in a circular way is required I'd recommend to implement this by using buffered mode.

This is the IIO driver for AVIA HX711 ADC which ist mostly used in weighting cells.

The protocol is quite simple and using GPIOs:
One GPIO is used as clock (SCK) while another GPIO is read (DOUT)

Youch. Controlling the next conversion via the number of clocks is hideous! Oh well, guess it's one solution that limits the number of wires needed.

Still not as hideous as some ;) (sht15 I'm looking at you :)

Few comments inline.

The raw value read from the chip is delivered.
To get a weight one needs to subtract the zero offset and scale it.
