Add support for the AD4880, a dual-channel 20-bit 40MSPS SAR ADC with
integrated fully differential amplifiers (FDA).
Architecture notes:
The AD4880 is modeled as a single IIO device rather than two independent
devices because the channels share power supplies, a voltage reference,
the CNV conversion clock, and a single interleaved data output stream.
Splitting them into separate IIO devices would make synchronized
dual-channel capture impossible from userspace.
An MFD approach does not apply here either - the channels are not
functionally distinct sub-devices but identical ADC paths sharing a
common data interface.
Each channel has fully independent configuration registers accessible
through separate SPI chip selects, so per-channel regmaps are used with
no locking between them. The data path has no software involvement at
runtime: the CNV clock triggers simultaneous conversions and the device
outputs an interleaved bitstream captured directly by the IIO backend
(FPGA). spi_new_ancillary_device() handles the configuration path;
the IIO backend handles the data path.
The debugfs_reg_access callback is not exposed for the dual-channel
variant since the IIO framework provides a single (reg, val) interface
with no channel parameter, and exposing only one channel would be
misleading.
The AD4880 is a fairly unique part - having separate SPI config
interfaces per channel with a shared interleaved data output is not
a common pattern.
NOTE: The AD4880 driver has a cross-tree dependency on two SPI patches
that are queued in spi/for-7.1:
- ffef4123043c ("spi: allow ancillary devices to share parent's chip selects")
- 463279e58811 ("spi: add devm_spi_new_ancillary_device()")
Changes in v9:
- Rebase on jic23/togreg
- Add Conor's ack on dt-bindings patch
