Would be good to give more detail. What is DCO?
Seems to be a delayed clock skewed so it aligns with the data being
out in response to clk. Host drives clk, but samples on dco.

Given the device needs to do slightly different things depending
on whether that is what the host is using, I think it definitely does
need to be in DT.

Maybe you need to represent it as the ADC also having a PWM
output that the LVDS DT node binds to if present.  That binding
then indicates to the ADC driver that it needs to operating in the
mode that doesn't send the synchronisation 101 pattern.
If you are always representing the ADC and the lvds side of things
as a single node, then need a flag in here somewhere so we can
tell if they are in use or not.

Given this exists as a potential difference between two separate
parts pf a system I'd definitely think about whether we can give them separate
representations with clear 'connectivity' between them

One of those cases were a bit of ascii art would probably be good
to put the problem clearly for the DT reviewers.
