Hi Ivan,

Welcome to IIO!

Looks good, but there are a few things I'd add to make this describe the device
a little more fully and flexibly.  Ideally we want a binding to fully describe
a device, even if the particular driver for Linux doesn't use all the features.
Some are easy though such as enabling regulators (that are probably turned on
already on your board)

Thanks,

Jonathan

These come from Table 18 which is example values I think?  Not sure there
is anything limiting us to those particular values given the equation given
just above that table should apply more generally.

Please add regulator definitions.

supply-vdd: true
and add it to the required properties. It might be provided by a stub regulator
but we still list that as required.

Also good to add bindings for the other control pins that might be wired to be
in the binding from the start - no need for the driver to use them though.
Looks like we have SHTDN and ENA here that could be wired to GPIOs on the host.
