Since there are potentially two independent SPI busses on this chip
(one for configuration, one for data) it might be a good idea to put
in a description somewhere that these SPI properties are for the
configuration SPI bus.

Clocks don't need a name if there is only one clock.

But the description of clocks should say which pin you mean.
Is the the CLK+/- pins or the CNV+/- pins?

I would expect we need a vendor boolean property to say if the
DCO+/- pins are wired or not for the echoed clock.

And what does the CNV trigger get wired to? We probably need a
vendor boolean property to say if it is wired to something CMOS
or LVDS. Plus maybe a pwms property or whatever makes sense for
whatever kind of signal generator it is connected to.

Also, don't we need io-backends for the data interface?

We can also add gpio-controller and #gpio-cells since this
chips provides GPIOs.

Assuming clocks is CLK+/- pins, this should be optional since
the pins are used for a different function in SPI mode.

The datasheet says things like, "If VDDLDO is connected to a
voltage source, neither VDD11 nor IOVDD should be connected to
any external voltage source.". So making all supplies required
doesn't seem correct.
