I'll cange it to dvdd, and vref to avdd.

The sampling frequency is controlled with the osc-sel and n-clk.
I'll remove n-clk from sysfs.

I would keep this here, but it will be an enum.

I'll remove all threshold and hysteresys from dt.

I do this because of the conditional requirement of interrupts.
