It's easy to do that anyway :) If you think of a normal SPI attached device that
has it's own internal clocking then it's usually easy to set the device to grab
data faster than than the spi bus can drain it. We drop samples.
Here it might make sense to add some bounds I guess as it's all in hardware
- either have the ADC provide them or push it to DT,

Groan loudly?
If someone wants careful sync between a trigger for the ADC and the read back triggering
they should do it in hardware. Sure we can do it if the pwm is sophisticated enough
but the mess of layering etc needed to make it work is just nasty.
I guess you make a custom trigger that bakes in your requirements.

Gah. So much for hoping you were conjecturing something unusual.
