[PATCH v2 00/10] Add iio backend compatibility for ad7606

This series aims to add iio backend support for AD7606X ADCs.

In a nutshell, iio backend is a paradigm to shift the logic establishing
the connexion between iio buffers and backend buffers into the backend's
driver. This provides a more stable programming interface to the driver
developers, and give more flexibility in the way the hardware communicates.

The support will be first added on AD7606B, and on next patches AD7606C16
and AD7606C18 will be added. The series have been tested on a Zedboard,
using the latest HDL available, i.e
https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/hdl/commit/7d0a4cee1b5fa403f175af513d7eb804c3bd75d0
and an AD7606B FMCZ EKV. This HDL handles both the conversion trigger
(through a PWM), and the end of conversion interruption, and is compatible
with axi-adc, which is "iio-backendable".

More information about this HDL design can be found at:
https://wiki.analog.com/resources/eval/user-guides/ad7606x-fmc/hdl

The support is thus separated in two parts:

- PWM support was first added. My first intention was to make it available
for any version of the driver, but the time required to handle the
interruption is not neglectable, and I saw drifts that would eventually
cause an overlapping SPI read with a new conversion trigger, whith
catastrphic consequences. To mitigate this, CRC check must be
implemented, but indeed increasing the samplerate causes more sample to
be lost. Therefore, I decided to only allow PWM for iio-backend
powered device as a first intention, leaving open the possibility to
add the general compatibility afterwards.

- IIO backend support was added: Once the PWM support was ready, the driver
can be extended to iio-backend. The iio-backend powered version of the
driver is a platform driver, and an exemple devicetree node is available
in the bindings.

The following features will be added in subsequent patch series:
- software mode for iio backend
- 18 bits mode (AD7606C18)
- single read (IIO_CHAN_READ_RAW)

Changes in v2:
- Logical change in dt-bindings, using a flag for the interface instead of
infering it from the value of the "reg" property.
- Removal of get_platform_match_data addition, instead the logic is
directly used in the file.
- Removal of use and export of pwm_get_state_hw, returning the configured
frequency instead of the running one.
- Correction on various typos, whitespaces, bad order of includes.
- Separation of SPI conditions and PWM disabling for no backend in other
commits.
