Hello All,

[Dragos here you have a quick intro about me if you want,
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/CAOgtOjMwnwsiXd8rPeGBBTVkZUeabQ5nLtPts2RQDDMc-TDgKA@mail.gmail.com/]

For GSoC'21 IIO project I would like to choose AD4695/AD4696 device
for implementing the driver.
I referred Analog Device, Inc.'s page that lists all drivers and
their kernel tree, but there is no existence of any compatible drivers
for this component.

About AD4695:
- 16-Channel, 16-bit 500 kSPS SAR ADC
- "Recommended for New Designs" phase
- SPI digital output
- Datasheet in [1]
- Product overview in [2]

Is there any other factor I should consider before choosing a component
to make a driver for? Do I go ahead with AD4695 in my
proposal? If yes, are there any recommendations/suggestions you'd like
to provide for a beginner indulging in making a kernel driver for such a
component?

Thanks,
Mugil
