Subject: [PATCH v5 01/11] dt-bindings: iio: adc: Add AD4170
Add device tree documentation for AD4170 and similar sigma-delta ADCs.
The AD4170 is a 24-bit, multichannel, sigma-delta ADC.
Signed-off-by: Marcelo Schmitt <marcelo.schmitt@...log.com>

Change log v4 -> v5
- Dropped interrupt maxItems constraint.
- Spelled out RC acronym in reference-buffer description.
- Require to specify interrupt-names when using interrupts.
- Added interrupt-names to the examples.
- Made adi,excitation-pin properties identical to adi,ad4130.
- Removed interrupt-parent props from the examples.
Proposing new types and ways of describing hardware for weigh scale load cells
and related sensors external to ADCs can lead to potential better description of
how those components connect to the ADC. However, we must use what already
exists for properties documenting features that are the same across different
devices.
Maybe, we could use generic defs to define adi,excitation-current-n-microamp and
adi,excitation-pin and avoid repetition with those. Though, that triggers a
dt_binding_check warning. Also, having mixed notation (some prop declarations
using defines and others not) seems to not be desirable.
It looks like the only option left is making adi,excitation-pin properties
identical to adi,ad4130.
On one hand, dropping adi,excitation-pin defs and making those properties
identical to adi,ad4130 preserves their syntax and semantics accross
dt-bindings. OTOH, we end up with more text repetition in the doc.

+ description: |
+ Enable precharge buffer, full buffer, or skip reference buffering of
+ the positive/negative voltage reference. Because the output impedance
+ of the source driving the voltage reference inputs may be dynamic,
+ resistive/capacitive combinations of those inputs can cause DC gain
+ errors if the reference inputs go unbuffered into the ADC. Enable
+ reference buffering if the provided reference source has dynamic high
+ impedance output. Note the absolute voltage allowed on REFINn+ and REFINn-
+ inputs is from AVSS - 50 mV to AVDD + 50 mV when the reference buffers are
+ disabled but narrows to AVSS to AVDD when reference buffering is enabled
+ or in precharge mode. The valid options for this property are:
+ 0: Reference precharge buffer.
+ 1: Full reference buffering.
+ 2: Bypass reference buffers (buffering disabled).

+ or by ADC chip excitation signals. The sensor can then be read through
+ a pair of analog inputs. This property specifies which particular
+ sensor type is connected to the ADC so it can be properly setup and
