Great, then add to your driver the reading of the adc device and
properly handle it there in the driver itself. You don't have to go
outside of the kernel at all or even outside of your driver.
And good luck with your driver, I wrote firmware for printers like this
over 20 years ago, it's a fun problem space to work in.
