1Bindings for DAC emulation using a digital potentiometer
2
3It is assumed that the dpot is used as a voltage divider between the
4current dpot wiper setting and the maximum resistance of the dpot. The
5divided voltage is provided by a vref regulator.

20Required properties:
21- compatible: Should be "dpot-dac"
22- vref-supply: The regulator supplying the voltage divider.
23- io-channels: Channel node of the dpot to be used for the voltage division.
24- io-channel-names: Should be "dpot".

26Example:
27
28	&i2c {
29		dpot: mcp4651-503@28 {
30			compatible = "microchip,mcp4651-503";
31			reg = <0x28>;
32			#io-channel-cells = <1>;
33		};
34	};
35
36	dac {
37		compatible = "dpot-dac";
38		vref-supply = <&reg_3v3>;
39		io-channels = <&dpot 0>;
40		io-channel-names = "dpot";
41	};
