OK. But I'm not really sure what the rules are for when such a prefix
must be added, so some guidance would be appreciated. There's

- DO use a vendor prefix on device specific property names. Consider if
properties could be common among devices of the same class.

And my thinking was that a threshold for when a digital input should
count as high/low would be a rather generic thing, so not particularly
device specific.

Also, this very binding has a shunt-resistor-micro-ohms, and the
individual channels have a drive-strength-microamp (granted, that latter
one is a recent one of mine and may have slipped through review?). I can
certainly understand that when a property specifies a raw value to put
into some register (or field), that's very specific to that chip (or
small family of chips) - the adi,ch-func properties fall into that category.
