+Current Sense Shunt
+===================
+
+When an io-channel measures the voltage over a current sense shunt,
+the interesting measurement is almost always the current through the
+shunt, not the voltage over it. This binding describes such a current
+sense circuit.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : "current-sense-shunt"
+- io-channels : Channel node of a voltage io-channel.
+- shunt-resistor-micro-ohms : The shunt resistance in microohms.
+
+Example:
+The system current is measured by measuring the voltage over a
+3.3 ohms shunt resistor.
+
+sysi {
+ compatible = "current-sense-shunt";
+ io-channels = <&tiadc 0>;
+
+ /* Divide the voltage by 3300000/1000000 (or 3.3) for the current. */
+ shunt-resistor-micro-ohms = <3300000>;
+};

+ tiadc: adc@48 {
