nfs: disintegrate UAPI for nfs
This is to complete part of the Userspace API (UAPI) disintegration for which the preparatory patches were pulled recently. After these patches, userspace headers will be segregated into: include/uapi/linux/.../foo.h for the userspace interface stuff, and: include/linux/.../foo.h for the strictly kernel internal stuff.

+Maxim MAX197 driver
+===================
+
+Author:
+ * Vivien Didelot <vivien.didelot@savoirfairelinux.com>
+
+Supported chips:
+ * Maxim MAX197
+ Prefix: 'max197'
+ Datasheet: http://datasheets.maxim-ic.com/en/ds/MAX197.pdf
+
+ * Maxim MAX199
+ Prefix: 'max199'
+ Datasheet: http://datasheets.maxim-ic.com/en/ds/MAX199.pdf
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The A/D converters MAX197, and MAX199 are both 8-Channel, Multi-Range, 5V,
+12-Bit DAS with 8+4 Bus Interface and Fault Protection.
+
+The available ranges for the MAX197 are {0,-5V} to 5V, and {0,-10V} to 10V,
+while they are {0,-2V} to 2V, and {0,-4V} to 4V on the MAX199.
+
+Platform data
+-------------
+
+The MAX197 platform data (defined in linux/platform_data/max197.h) should be
+filled with a pointer to a conversion function, defined like:
+
+ int convert(u8 ctrl);
+
+ctrl is the control byte to write to start a new conversion.
+On success, the function must return the 12-bit raw value read from the chip,
+or a negative error code otherwise.
+
+Control byte format:
+
+Bit Name Description
+7,6 PD1,PD0 Clock and Power-Down modes
+5 ACQMOD Internal or External Controlled Acquisition
+4 RNG Full-scale voltage magnitude at the input
+3 BIP Unipolar or Bipolar conversion mode
+2,1,0 A2,A1,A0 Channel
+
+Sysfs interface
+---------------
+
+* in[0-7]_input: The conversion value for the corresponding channel.
+ RO
+
+* in[0-7]_min: The lower limit (in mV) for the corresponding channel.
+ For the MAX197, it will be adjusted to -10000, -5000, or 0.
+ For the MAX199, it will be adjusted to -4000, -2000, or 0.
+ RW
+
+* in[0-7]_max: The higher limit (in mV) for the corresponding channel.
+ For the MAX197, it will be adjusted to 0, 5000, or 10000.
+ For the MAX199, it will be adjusted to 0, 2000, or 4000.
