If, like me, you think of op-amps and some National Instruments analog-to-digital converters when you think of Analog Devices, you might be wondering what they're doing writing Linux drivers. The short answer is they're acquiring IP: They've bought Linear Technology (which makes tons of PMIC devices) and Maxim Integrated, who make tons of specialized PMIC, analog, RTC, interface, and other chips.
The link above is a press release, the full list of devices is here:

Part numbers prefixed with "LTC" are from Linear Tech, part numbers prefixed with "MAX" are Maxim, part numbers prefixed with "AD" are Analog Devices. Part numbers prefixed with "DS" are from Dallas Semiconductor, which was bought by Maxim a long time ago.
As someone who typically uses these devices in much smaller embedded systems, it's nice to have these hardware abstraction layers listed in one place, instead of having to transcribe it from the datasheet.
