[PATCH 2/3] iio: adc: mt6397-auxadc: add mt6397 PMIC AUXADC driver

Ryan Brue ryanbrue.dev at gmail.com
Tue Sep 15 21:15:27 PDT 2026


The mt6397 AUXADC is a 10-bit ADC behind the SoC's PMIC wrapper. On boards
built around this PMIC it is the only way to read the battery: the SoC's
AUXADC is wired to board thermistors and the charger ICs these boards use
have no ADC of their own.

Add a driver exposing the battery voltage and battery temperature
channels. Only those two are described, so a channel ID in the device tree
is an index into the driver's channel array rather than the PMIC's channel
number, as mt6323-auxadc does. The ready bit lives in a channel's raw
result register, but the value comes from the chip's trimmed copy of it,
which is what the vendor driver reads for a measurement.

Both channels need more than that, as the vendor programs them. The
battery voltage is measured through ISENSE, because a board with a
switching charger in the power path leaves BATSNS on the charger's system
rail instead of on the pack. The thermistor only reads correctly with the
PMIC's battery-detect bias and input buffer enabled, which take 20 ms to
settle. Both are switched back off afterwards.

Reads average sixteen conversions in software; the chip's sample
accumulator makes no measurable difference at any setting, so it is left
at one sample per conversion.
