I don't understand. In case there is only one ddsX_freqY file.
Then there is certainly no ddsX_freqsymbol or ddsX_pincontrol_freq_en file.

We can document the missing cases once we add parts that requires them.

Not with the AD9832/35 AD9833/34, some other DDS parts allow register readouts.
Depending on the implementation of the device in question. It might be possible
To read back the current hardware state.

I'll add the read method.

I'll change.
