As stated in [1], we should try to make complete bindings. I think
more could be done here to make this more complete. Most notably, the
gpio-controller binding is missing. Also maybe something is needed to
describe how the SYNC/ERROR pin is wired up since it can be an input
or an output with different functions?

Including the cumulative changelog for all revisions would be helpful
to reviewers who haven't been following closely.

Shouldn't this be 2? The datasheet says there is a "Data Output Ready"
signal on the DOUT/RDY pin and an "Error Output" on the SYNC/ERROR
pin. Although I could see how RDY could be considered part of the SPI
bus. In any case, a description explaining what the interrupt is would
be useful.

What about other supplies? AVDD1, AVDD2, IOVDD.

Do we need to add overrides to limit the maximums for each compatible string?

Missing string type?

Individual analog inputs can be used as single-ended or in pairs as
differential, right? If so, diff-channels should not be required to
allow for single-ended use.

And we would need to add something like a single-ended-channel
property to adc.yaml to allow mapping analog input pins to channels
similar to how diff-channels works, I think (I don't see anything like
that there already)?

So maybe something like:

oneOf:
- required:
single-ended-channel
- required:
diff-channels
