I think the convention is still to explicitly cc all device tree maintainers on bindings
patches (added).

A few bits and pieces in line.  Basically I'd like more explanation + examples to
make it clear what is going on.  This hardware has some unusual corners
(inherent in being a highly configurable bit of IP) so perhaps needs more than
we would normally expect in the way of description

Thanks,

Jonathan

Normal to add a cross reference here to the standard interrupt binding
docs (as there are loads of ways of specifying an interrupt!)

I'd guess this is only relevant if the compatible is the dual-adc version?
Please document that if so.

Would make it clearer what is going on here and what the expected
syntax is for the bindings.

What for does the value take?

These needs some comments to explain the settings.
There is more here than simply dual vs single ADCs.  Perhaps
even a more complex example with multipel slots in use would
clarify things?  As I understand it the slot sequencing is baked
into the fpga logic and not configurable at runtime?
Perhaps add some detail of that in this document as well to make it
easier to review.

There's a hint here.  There should be a new line at the end of the file ;)
