Subject: [PATCH v2] iio: dac: mcp4821: add configurable gain support
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 12:42:42 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326071242.9218-1-nikhilgtr@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260321180707.73a7ad60@jic23-huawei>

Add support for configuring the DAC gain using the GA bit.
Expose gain control via IIO_CHAN_INFO_CALIBSCALE.

Scale is updated dynamically based on selected gain:
- 1x gain → 2.048V full-scale
- 2x gain → 4.096V full-scale

Signed-off-by: Nikhil Gautam <nikhilgtr@gmail.com>

Changes in v2:
- Drop header reordering
- Move MCP4821_GAIN_ENABLE define before MCP4802_SECOND_CHAN
- Use IIO_CHAN_INFO_SCALE instead of CALIBSCALE since full scale changes
- Restore original -EINVAL handling in default cases
