Subject: drop second/last, redundant "dt-bindings for". The
"dt-bindings" prefix is already stating that these are bindings.

Do not use "This commit/patch".
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.17.1/source/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst#L95

Use imperative - also for subject.

Please use scripts/get_maintainers.pl to get a list of necessary people
and lists to CC.  It might happen, that command when run on an older
kernel, gives you outdated entries.  Therefore please be sure you base
your patches on recent Linux kernel.

Maybe order these numerically (ascending)?

What are the units? rate is usually in hz, which should be expressed in
unit suffix (property name)

required goes after all properties, so after patternProperties

Why first reg-pattern ([1-4])? For what do you need it?

Not a correct unit suffix. Use standard properties:
git grep shunt -- Documentation/devicetree/

Why do you need it? Why this is a property of DT? Aren't you now
duplicating label?

Describe here what is a "bi-directional" channel for ADC... Maybe it is
obvious, maybe not. For me it is not and none of other devices have it.

Node names should be generic.

1@1 is for sure not generic...
