A new compatible is added to reflect the specialized version of the HDL that is not covered by the IIO backend paradigm: We use the parallel interface to write the ADC's registers, and accessing this interface requires to use ADI_AXI_REG_CONFIG_RD,ADI_AXI_REG_CONFIG_WR and ADI_AXI_REG_CONFIG_CTRL in a custom fashion.
