Thanks for the patch. This looks really good!

This returns the number of bytes written, which can be less then the 
number of bytes requested if there was an error. This should check if 
the right amount of bytes was written and return -EIO otherwise. Same 
for the other places that read/write from I2C.

This is not wrong, but it can be implemented a bit simpler. The 
tolerance is encoded as a fixed point number, you don't have to treat 
them as two independent fields, but can treat it as one fixed point number.

     data->tol = data->cfg->kohms * (val & GENMASK(6, 0)) * 1000 / 100 / 8;

Maybe apply shift to get consistent behavior with `raw`.

This is new custom ABI and needs to be documented.

val == data->cfg->max_pos is a valid setting. Writing max_pos puts it in 
top-scale mode which gives maximum resistance.

Doesn't val have to be inverted to get the right behavior?
