The LTC2741 and LTC2473 are single voltage monitoring chips. The LTC2473
is similar to the LTC2471 but outputs a signed differential value.

This looks more like a general purpose ADC rather than a specialized voltage
monitoring chip. In my opinion this driver would be better suited for the
IIO framework. But before you start working on that lets try to hear what
others think about this.

I'm neutral on it, it's being used as a hardware monitor on the board I have, but it's indeed a generic I2C ADC.

Do you have a suggestion for a similar device (simple I2C ADC) that I could base the IIO driver on? I've come across the AD799x which seems a good starting point.
