Sure. But I haven't analyzed yet if the IIO part of the driver also uses the 
delay units and - more important - when it use them.

@Marek: can you tell us, where the clock should be enabled in your part of the 
driver (if required)?

BTW: do we also need to get and enable the 24 MHz clock (used by the ADC 
itself)? I'm not sure if this clock is the "CLK_ANA24M" shown in 
their "Logical Diagram of Clock Domains". The datasheets also mention 
the "clk_xtal24m" clock for "analog 24 MHz clock domains". But does "Fixed 
clock domains" mean they are not switchable and thus always enabled?

Regards,
Juergen
