Laxman Dewangan 9e389e383b thermal: generic-adc: Add DT binding for ADC based thermal sensor
Sometimes, thermal sensors like NCT thermistors are connected to
the ADC channel. The temperature is read by reading the voltage
across the sensor resistance via ADC and referring the lookup
table for ADC value to temperature.

Add DT binding doc for the ADC based thermal sensor driver to
detail the DT property and provide the example for how to use it.

General Purpose Analog To Digital Converter (ADC) based thermal sensor.
On some of platforms, thermal sensor like thermistors are connected to
one of ADC channel and sensor resistance is read via voltage across the
sensor resistor. The voltage read across the sensor is mapped to
temperature using voltage-temperature lookup table.
Required properties:
===================
- compatible: Must be "generic-adc-thermal".
- temperature-lookup-table: Two dimensional array of Integer; lookup table
to map the relation between ADC value and
temperature. When ADC is read, the value is
looked up on the table to get the equivalent
temperature.
The first value of the each row of array is the
temperature in milliCelsius and second value of
the each row of array is the ADC read value.
- #thermal-sensor-cells: Should be 1. See ./thermal.txt for a description
of this property.
Example :
#include <dt-bindings/thermal/thermal.h>
i2c@7000c400 {
ads1015: ads1015@4a {
reg = <0x4a>;
compatible = "ads1015";

#io-channel-cells = <1>;
};
};
