Subject: [PATCH v5 3/3] iio: dac: mcp4821: add configurable gain support
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 14:52:53 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260414092254.34883-4-nikhilgtr@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260414092254.34883-1-nikhilgtr@gmail.com>

Add support for configuring the DAC gain using the GA bit and
update scale handling

The MCP4821 supports two gain settings:
- 1x gain → 2.048V full-scale
- 2x gain → 4.096V full-scale

Scale write support is added in the IIO interface. Only scale
values advertised via the scale_available attribute are accepted,
ensuring consistency between the configured gain and exposed
scale values.
