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 = <®_3v3>;
io-channels = <&dpot 0>;
io-channel-names = "dpot";
};
