The INA233 device is a current, voltage and power monitor
with an I2C-, SMBus-,and PMBus-compatible interface
that is compliant with digital bus voltages from 1.8 V to 5.0 V.
The device monitors and reports values for current, voltage and power.
The integrated power accumulator can be used for energy
or average power calculations. Programmable calibration value,
conversion times and averaging when combined with an internal multiplier
enable direct readouts of current in amperes and power in watts.

I should not have to say this, but please run your patches through checkpatch.

If of_property_read_u16() fails, this will result in writing a random value
into MFR_CALIBRATION. Also, the lack of a range check seems questionable.

Also, as mentioned in my comments to the bindings, the value to write
into MFR_CALIBRATION should be calculated and not be provided as raw value
in the devicetree properties.

+ ret = of_property_read_u16(client->dev.of_node, "current-lsb", &current_lsb);

This accepts a current-lsb of 0, which would result in a divide by 0
error below.

Please no C++ comments in hwmon drivers.

+ ina233_info.m[PSC_CURRENT_OUT] = 1000 / current_lsb;
+ ina233_info.m[PSC_POWER] = 40 / current_lsb;

The lack of units makes it all but impossible to validate those equations.

The datasheet says that R must also be calculated. The datasheet specifically says
"Moving the decimal point to maximize the value of m is critical to minimize rounding
errors" and "Care must be taken to adjust the exponent coefficient, R, such that the
value of m remains within the range of –32768 to 32767". If you think that is not
necessary, please explain.

Actually, the values for m will never exceed the range but be _much_ less based on
above equations, which must result in significant loss of precision. "40 / current_lsb"
means the m value for power will never be above 40 and quite likely 0. I really
don't see why this would make sense.
