+Bindings for DAC emulation using a digital potentiometer
+
+It is assumed that the dpot is used as a voltage divider between the
+current dpot wiper setting and the maximum resistance of the dpot. The
+divided voltage is provided by a vref regulator.

+Required properties:
+- compatible: Should be "dpot-dac"
+- vref-supply: The regulator supplying the voltage divider.
+- io-channels: Channel node of the dpot to be used for the voltage division.
+- io-channel-names: Should be "dpot".
+
+Example:
+
+ &i2c {
+ dpot: mcp4651-503@28 {
+ compatible = "microchip,mcp4651-503";
+ reg = <0x28>;
+ #io-channel-cells = <1>;
+ };
+ };
+
+ dac {
+ compatible = "dpot-dac";
+ vref-supply = <&reg_3v3>;
+ io-channels = <&dpot 0>;
+ io-channel-names = "dpot";
+ };
