[PATCH v8 1/6] dt-bindings: iio: adc: add AD4691 family

Add DT bindings for the Analog Devices AD4691 family of multichannel
SAR ADCs (AD4691, AD4692, AD4693, AD4694).

The binding describes the hardware connections:

- Power domains: avdd-supply (required), vio-supply, ref-supply or
refin-supply (external reference; the REFIN path enables the
internal reference buffer). Digital core VDD is supplied either
externally via vdd-supply, or generated by the on-chip LDO fed
from ldo-in-supply; the two are mutually exclusive and one must
be present.

- Optional PWM on the CNV pin selects CNV Burst Mode; when absent,
Manual Mode is assumed with CNV tied to SPI CS.

- An optional reset GPIO (reset-gpios) for hardware reset.

- Up to four GP pins (gp0..gp3) usable as interrupt sources,
identified in firmware via interrupt-names "gp0".."gp3".

- gpio-controller with #gpio-cells = <2> for GP pin GPIO usage.

- #trigger-source-cells = <1>: one cell selecting the GP pin number
(0-3) used as the SPI offload trigger source.

Two binding examples are provided: CNV Burst Mode with SPI offload
(DMA data acquisition driven by DATA_READY on a GP pin), and Manual
Mode for CPU-driven triggered-buffer or single-shot capture.

The four variants are not compatible with each other: AD4691/AD4692 have
16 analog input channels while AD4693/AD4694 have 8, and AD4691/AD4693
top out at 500 kSPS while AD4692/AD4694 reach 1 MSPS. These differences
in channel count and maximum sample rate require distinct compatible
strings so the driver can select the correct channel configuration and
rate limits.

+description: |
+ The AD4691 family are high-speed, low-power, multichannel successive
+ approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with
+ an SPI-compatible serial interface. The ADC supports CNV Burst Mode,
+ where an external PWM drives the CNV pin, and Manual Mode, where CNV
+ is directly tied to the SPI chip-select.
