+AD7768 driver
+=============
+
+ADC driver for Analog Devices Inc. AD7768 and AD7768-4 devices. The module name
+is ``ad7768``.
+
+Supported devices
+=================
+
+The following chips are supported by this driver:
+
+* `AD7768 <https://www.analog.com/en/products/ad7768.html>`_ -
+  8-channel, 24-bit simultaneous sampling ADC
+* `AD7768-4 <https://www.analog.com/en/products/ad7768-4.html>`_ -
+  4-channel, 24-bit simultaneous sampling ADC
+
+Supported features
+==================
+
+Power modes
+-----------
+
+The AD7768 family supports three power and performance modes:
+
+* **Low power mode** - Optimized for lowest power consumption
+* **Median mode** - Balanced power and performance
+* **Fast mode** - Highest performance with maximum sampling rates
+
+The driver initializes the device in fast mode and uses the maximum fast-mode
+output data rate as the default sampling frequency.
+
+When buffered capture starts, the driver selects the lowest-noise mode that can
+produce the requested output data rates for all enabled channels. Where output
+data rates overlap, fast mode is preferred over median mode, and median mode is
+preferred over low power mode. This prioritizes the lower RMS noise and higher
+dynamic range offered by a faster mode at the same output data rate.
+
+Data output configuration
+-------------------------
+
+The devices support flexible serial data output configurations:
+
+AD7768 data lines
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* 1 data line (DOUT0) - Standard single-lane output
+* 2 data lines (DOUT0, DOUT1) - Dual-lane output for higher throughput
+* 8 data lines (DOUT0-DOUT7) - Maximum throughput, one line per channel
+
+AD7768-4 data lines
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* 1 data line (DOUT0) - Standard single-lane output
+* 4 data lines (DOUT0-DOUT3) - Maximum throughput, one line per channel
+
+The number of data lines can be configured via the ``adi,data-lines-number``
+device tree property. If omitted, the driver uses the maximum supported by the
+selected variant: eight lines for AD7768 and four lines for AD7768-4.
+
+Channel configuration
+---------------------
+
+Each channel can be individually configured with:
+
+Channel modes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* **Mode A** - First set of filter and decimation settings
+* **Mode B** - Second set of filter and decimation settings
+
+The hardware provides two mode profiles (A and B), each holding one
+(frequency, filter) combination. When buffered capture is started,
+enabled channels are grouped by their configured (frequency, filter)
+pair. Up to two distinct groups are supported; the driver automatically
+assigns each group to a mode slot and programs the hardware accordingly.
+
+Precharge and reference buffers
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Per-channel buffer control for optimal signal integrity:
+
+* Positive input precharge buffer (``adi,prechargebuf-pos-enable``)
+* Negative input precharge buffer (``adi,prechargebuf-neg-enable``)
+* Positive reference buffer (``adi,refbuf-pos-enable``)
+* Negative reference buffer (``adi,refbuf-neg-enable``)
+
+Common mode voltage
+-------------------
+
+The VCM pin provides a buffered common-mode voltage output used to bias
+the analog inputs. The driver exposes this as a standard voltage regulator
+provider under a ``regulators`` subnode in the device tree. Supported
+output voltage levels are:
+
+* (AVDD1 - AVSS) / 2 - Mid-supply (hardware default), reported as half the
+  voltage provided by ``avdd1-supply``
+* 1,650,000 µV - 1.65V
+* 2,500,000 µV - 2.5V
+* 2,140,000 µV - 2.14V
+
+The regulator can be enabled and disabled at runtime using the standard
+regulator framework interfaces.
+
+The VCM circuitry is associated with channel 0. When VCM is used externally,
+``channel@0`` must be present in the device tree and channel 0 must remain
+enabled in the active scan mask. Placing channel 0 in standby disables the VCM
+output.
+
+Filter types
+------------
+
+Two digital filter types are available:
+
+* **Wideband** - Optimized for wide bandwidth applications
+* **Sinc5** - Fifth-order sinc filter for high rejection of out-of-band noise
+
+IIO backend support
+-------------------
+
+The driver integrates with IIO backends (e.g., AXI ADC) for high-speed data
+capture and DMA operations. Features include:
+
+* Automatic channel enable/disable based on scan mask
+* CRC on data interface. CRC replaces the header every 4th output sample.
+* High-throughput buffered data acquisition
+
+GPIO controller
+---------------
+
+The AD7768 includes a 5-pin GPIO controller for auxiliary digital I/O
+operations. The GPIO pins can be configured as inputs or outputs.
+
+Device attributes
+=================
+
+The following IIO attributes are available for each enabled channel:
+
+Sampling frequency
+------------------
+
+.. list-table::
+   :header-rows: 1
+   :widths: 40 60
+
+   * - Attribute
+     - Description
+   * - ``in_voltage<N>_sampling_frequency``
+     - Requested sampling frequency in Hz for channel N. Enabled channels are
+       grouped into up to two profiles at capture time.
+   * - ``in_voltage<N>_sampling_frequency_available``
+     - Available sampling frequencies in Hz for channel N across all power
+       modes, based on the master clock frequency. Buffer setup fails if no
+       single power mode supports the frequencies requested by all enabled
+       channels.
+
+Filter configuration
+---------------------
+
+.. list-table::
+   :header-rows: 1
+   :widths: 40 60
+
+   * - Attribute
+     - Description
+   * - ``in_voltage<N>_filter_type``
+     - Requested filter type for channel N: "wideband" or "sinc5". It is
+       grouped with sampling frequency at capture time.
+   * - ``in_voltage<N>_filter_type_available``
+     - Available filter types for channel N: "wideband sinc5".
+
+Per-channel calibration
+-----------------------
+
+.. list-table::
+   :header-rows: 1
+   :widths: 40 60
+
+   * - Attribute
+     - Description
+   * - ``in_voltage<N>_calibbias``
+     - Raw unsigned 24-bit channel offset register value.
+   * - ``in_voltage<N>_calibscale``
+     - Raw unsigned 24-bit channel gain register value.
+   * - ``in_voltage<N>_convdelay``
+     - Per-channel conversion delay. The driver exposes the phase/modulator
+       delay register in seconds with picosecond precision. Resolution and
+       valid range depend on the decimation ratio in use (see datasheet
+       Table 30).
+
+Device buffers
+==============
+
+This driver supports IIO buffered data acquisition through IIO backends.
+When used with compatible backends like the AXI ADC, it provides:
+
+* High-speed simultaneous sampling across all enabled channels
+* Hardware-triggered data capture
+* DMA-based data transfer for minimal CPU overhead
+* CRC error detection
+
+See :doc:`iio_devbuf` for more information about IIO device buffers.
+
+Example usage
+=============
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+	# Read current sampling frequency for channel 0
+	cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_voltage0_sampling_frequency
+
+	# Update sampling frequency for channel 0
+	echo 8000 > /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_voltage0_sampling_frequency
+
+	# Read current filter type for channel 0
+	cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_voltage0_filter_type
+
+	# List available filter types for channel 0
+	cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_voltage0_filter_type_available
+
+	# Update filter type for channel 0 to wideband
+	echo wideband > /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_voltage0_filter_type
+
+	# Buffer setup fails if enabled channels request more than two distinct
+	# (sampling frequency, filter type) combinations.
+
+	# Read calibration scale for channel 0
+	cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_voltage0_calibscale
+
+	# Read conversion delay for channel 0
+	cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_voltage0_convdelay
+
+
+Unimplemented features
+======================
+
+* CRC message every 16 samples (CRC_SEL configuration) - currently only
+  supports CRC every 4 samples
