Hey,
Link is http://analog.com/ad7192 and that should resolve to the proper
page, where the datasheet is available.
[ General info: most [if not all] datasheets from Analog Devices can
be found by concatenating "http://analog.com/ + "<part name>" ]

But more directly, the link to the PDF is:
https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/AD7192.pdf
Page 10 provides some description of the pins, page 20 the mode
register for the clock, and page 32 a general description of the
clock.
If you search for MCLK1 or MCLK2 you should navigate pretty quick
through the doc.

The clock circuitry [the 2 pins] is common for all chips this driver
supports [AD7190/2/3/5].

Thanks
Alex
