Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for the detailed review and helpful suggestions.

I'll update the binding to include the following:
- Add required power supply property (avdd-supply) and optional vref-supply.
- Add interrupt and interrupt-names for DRDY and DOUT.
- Move the datasheet link into the dt-binding description.

I'll incorporate these changes and resend as a V2 (non-RFC) patch series.
