The Qualcomm PM8xxx PMICs contain a simpler ADC than its
successors (already in the kernel as qcom-spmi-vadc.c):
the HK/XO ADC (Housekeeping/Chrystal oscillator ADC).
As far as I can understand this is equal to the PMICs
using SSBI transport and encompass PM8018, PM8038,
PM8058, and PM8921, so this is shortly named PM8xxx.
This ADC monitors a bunch of on-board voltages and the die
temperature of the PMIC itself, but it can also be routed
to convert a few external MPPs (multi-purpose pins). On
the APQ8060 DragonBoard this feature is used to let this
ADC convert an analog ALS (Ambient Light Sensor) voltage
signal from a Capella CM3605 ALS into a LUX value.
Developed and tested with APQ8060 DragonBoard based on
Ivan's driver and Rama Krishna's patches. The SPMI VADC
driver is quite different, but share enough minor
functionality that I have split out to the common file
in a previous patch.
