+Description: The adc0volt attribute allows the userspace to read the
+ voltage of the device connected to the General Purpose
+ Analog to Digital Converter (GPADC) channel-0. Voltage
+ conversion from analog to digital happens only when this
+ attribute is read. GPADC block is present in AB5500 chip
+ and has input voltage range of 0-1.8 volt for GPADC Ch-0.
+ It provides result of the converted voltage in 10 bits.
+ Other GPADC channels attributes may appear in this path
+ later. For minimum and maximum input voltage range for
+ each channel please refer to the ST-Ericssons AB5500
+ datasheet. An example usage of GPADC can be an ALS device
+ connected to the channel and user space adapts the
+ LCD backlight brightness based on ambient light value
+ read from the attribute.
