1 Voltage divider
2 ===============
3
4 When an io-channel measures the midpoint of a voltage divider, the
5 interesting voltage is often the voltage over the full resistance
6 of the divider. This binding describes the voltage divider in such
7 a curcuit.

23 Required properties:
24 - compatible : "voltage-divider"
25 - io-channels : Channel node of a voltage io-channel measuring Vout.
26 - output-ohms : Resistance Rout over which the output voltage is measured.
27 See full-ohms.
28 - full-ohms : Resistance R + Rout for the full divider. The io-channel
29 is scaled by the Rout / (R + Rout) quotient.

31 Example:
32 The system voltage is circa 12V, but divided down with a 22/222
33 voltage divider (R = 200 Ohms, Rout = 22 Ohms) and fed to an ADC.
