This adds support for TI ADS112C14 and ADS122C14 ADC chips.

The closest thing we've seen to this in the kernel already is ads124s08.
However, that has a completely different register map and the DT
bindings are incomplete and the driver is extremely basic. So I've just
started from scratch here.

We've also had a similar submission recently for ADS1220 [1]. That chip
is in a similar situation to ads124s08 in that it has a different
register map (but the submitted DT bindings are better than the ones for
ads124s08, even if still a bit incomplete). And literally as I was
writing the previous sentence, another series [2]  was sent for yet
another similar family of chips (ADS1262). That one is even more complex
in the feature set than the ones I am working on. I was going to polish
up the driver a bit more before submitting it, but now it seems more
urgent to coordinate with the other two series to align on how we would
like to handle all of these.

All of these chips have in common that they are designed for use with
RTDs and thermocouples and so they look very similar to each other in
terms of wiring and feature set, even if the register maps are
different. They are in the gray area where we could either keep them
separate because they are just different enough, or we could do like
we've done before with ad_sigma_delta and have a bit of an abstraction
layer for the register differences and otherwise try to share as much
code as possible. Normally, I would lean towards keeping them separate,
but in this case, I'm considering trying to share code because the
devicetree bindings for the inputs is complex and is going to be mostly
the same across all of these chips.

If we decide to go the route of sharing code, we could still merge this
series as-is and then do the refactoring to add the abstraction layer in
a follow-up series that also adds support for the first of the other
chips.

This series includes just basic support for reading single measurements
from the ADC and gain selection via the scale attribute. I plan to
follow this up with additional series to add support for buffered reads,
filtering/oversampling configuration, event support, gpio controller
support and perhaps a few other things that are slipping my mind right
now.

The most interesting part about this (that I alluded to above) is the
way channels are handled. These are multipling ADCs with differential
and single-ended inputs. But what sets them apart from other similar
chips is that since they are designed for use with RTDs, there can also
be a current output required to excite the RTD and this current output
might be different for different channels. So the way I conceptualized
the channels is that the devicetree specifies the conditions needed
to take a particular measurement rather than being purely a physical
channel.

This makes things more flexible, but does make the driver a bit more
complex. For example, knowing when the current output needs to be
enabled or disabled. For now, I have chosen a lazy-enable where they
are not turned on until the first measurement is taken that requires
them, but then they stay on until another measurement is taken that
doesn't require them. This can lead to some oddness with the diagnostic
channels that may be measuring something that indirectly requires the
current output (i.e. the external reference voltage when it is connected
to a resistor rather than a power supply). This means you need to take
a measurement that requires the current output to be enabled before the
diagnostic channels will give accurate readings.

I have also pushed a branch to [3] that contains the start of some
documentation for this driver that can give some more insight into how
the implementation works. It still needs some work and also documents
some things that haven't been implemented yet, so I haven't included it
in this series yet.
