How many? Which ones?

Either define the set of names, or don't use clock-names. It's useless
if it doesn't tell you anything.

Can you not query the regulator to figure this out?

Could you elaborate on this? What's it used for and why is it needed?

This sounds like something that could be changed at runtime. Why does
this need to be configured in the DT?

Likewise.

Please don't poinltessly abbreviate, "sample" is much better than "sam"
here...

Likewise.

When would you wnat this and when wouldn't you?

Similarly, "averages" is far clearer than "aver".

Similarly?

Similarly?

s/vref/vref-supply/

Thanks,
