[PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: iio: adc: ti,ads1298: add ADS1299 EEG ADC variants

[Md Shofiqul Islam]

The ADS1299, ADS1299-4, and ADS1299-6 share the same SPI interface
and register map as the ADS1298 ECG ADC family but are designed for
EEG and biopotential measurement.  Key differences from ADS1298:
- PGA gain up to 24x (vs 12x for ADS1298)
- Internal reference is always 2.4V (no 4V option)

Add compatible strings and update the vref-supply description to
document the ADS1299 reference voltage behaviour.

[PATCH 2/2] iio: adc: ti-ads1298: add ADS1299 EEG ADC family support

[Md Shofiqul Islam]

The ADS1299, ADS1299-4 and ADS1299-6 are 8/4/6-channel, 24-bit
biopotential (EEG) ADCs from Texas Instruments.  They share the same
SPI interface, command set and register map as the ADS1298 ECG family,
making it straightforward to support them in this driver.

Key differences from the ADS1298:
- PGA gain range is 1/2/4/6/8/12/24 (vs 6/1/2/3/4/8/12 for ADS1298)
- Internal voltage reference is always 2.4V (no 4V option)
- Channel count is encoded differently in the ID register: bits [4:3]
  identify the ADS1299 family (both bits set), bits [1:0] encode the
  channel count as (bits + 2) * 2

Detect the chip family in ads1298_init() by checking bits [4:3] of
the ID register.  Store the result in the is_ads1299 flag and use it
to select the correct PGA table in ads1298_get_scale() and to skip
the 4V reference option in the CONFIG3 initialisation.

This is not how we handle chip-specific differences in IIO. Instead we
should add a new chip info struct and pass that as the data in the
module device tables.

This new struct should have a flag, e.g. `bool is_fixed_internal_ref` and
`const u8 *pga_settings` that is a pointer to the appropriate array.

Number of channels should come from the new chip info based on the compatible
string as well.

Generally, we put the chip name in the chip info as well.

This doesn't scale, rephrase here and in top comment in the file (and probably
in the Kconfig title) to make it stretchy. See the history of the last few
months of IIO subsystem development, you will find examples on how to achieve
that,

Not sure the dt-bindings care about the internal reference. It should
just be a driver implementation detail.

So I would just trim this down to:

	Optional reference voltage. If omitted, internal reference is used.

Since the chips are nearly identical, not sure a 2nd example is
particularly useful.

Further to David's comment below about not caring about the internal reference
details, I'd drop that bit from here as well.

If you want to differentiate the parts (I'm not sure it's necessary) then say
what each one does as that will be more extensible than starting from a base
then expanding.

Something like:
ADS1298/ADS1298R: 8-channel, 24-bit ECG ADC. Max 12x PGA gain.
Datasheet: https://www.ti.com/product/ADS1298

ADS1299/ADS1299-4/ADS1299-6: 8/4/6-channel, 24-bit EEG/biopotential ADC.
Max 24x PGA gain.
Datasheet: https://www.ti.com/product/ADS1299

(check how that gets formatted and edit as appropriate)

As the channel count is a discoverable feature (encoded as a field in the
ID Register, I think we can use just the one compatible).  FWIW it is
nice to see a manufacturer making this discoverable!  I'd expect any
future drop in parts to vary the other part of the ID, but this field
should be respected - as such this doesn't fall into the stuff I've been
discussing with DT maintainers about fallback compatibles needing to
be specific (I'm way behind so not sure where that thread got to!)

I forget that thread too, but I think the difference is discoverable ID
versus discoverable capabilities. If you match on a generic compatible
with a new discoverable ID you've got no idea how to handle it. Matching
on an existing specific compatible with a new ID, you treat it as the
existing device. Matching on a generic compatible with the ability to
discover the channel count, you know what to do.
