It would be nice to have a short description here, with useful facts
(e.g. this is an SPI device).

Is there any public documentation? It might not need to go in the
document, but having a link really helps with review.

How do these differ? Are these just different revisions of the same
chip?

Are particular strings expected to be used as fallbacks in the
compatible list?

Does ad5064 also imply ad5604-1 here?

Likewise.

These seem oddly named given the description. Are these named A B C D in
the documentation? If not, vref-channel-X-supply would seem to be
clearer.

Why are these grouped in pairs rather than listed individually?

When would you want to do this, and when would you want to use the
internal reference? Could the driver not choose to do this based on
whether a supply is listed in the dt?

Strip the part about the error, that's not a description of the device
and not a matter for the binding.

Just to check, on some versions (e.g. ad5668-3), this can work without
any supply listed at all, yes?

Cheers,
Mark.
