hwmon: (ina2xx) make shunt resistance configurable at run-time
The shunt resistance can only be set via platform_data or device tree. This isn't suitable for devices in which the shunt resistance can change/isn't known at boot-time. Add a sysfs attribute that allows to read and set the shunt resistance. Signed-off-by: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@baylibre.com> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>
