Please consider also adding the vdd-supply.
It's not really required, but if you don't add it from the start
chances are high that at some point someone else will need to
add it.

One trivial thing inline.  Otherwise looks good to me.

Driver shouldn't be mentioned in the binding. It's a description of the

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious here -- what vdd-supply is
that? Are you thinking of the regulator used for the ADC's reference
voltage? That's already there (vref-supply).

Or did you mean I should add a definition for the regulator output used
for the device's Vdd input (i.e. the positive supply voltage)? Needless
to say, I'm happy to add it if you think it's a good idea. It's just I
don't think I've seen it in other drivers (except maybe ad7192?) -- so I
figured I'd ask before sending a botched v5.

Best regards,
Alex

Yep.
Jonathan refers to Vdd input/pin [on the chip] which is different from Vref [REF
pin].
Not all drivers define Vdd.
Some call it AVdd.

You can check via:  git grep -i vdd | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c
in the drivers/iio folder 

It's an idea to add it, and that can give control to the driver to power-up the
ADC, by defining a regulator [vdd-supply] in the device-tree.

Maybe it could be interesting to move this to the IIO core as an option-flag.
[But that's another discussion]

Hmm... I don't know how useful this would be for the 124x family (I
doubt anyone who needs one of these will power it from its own,
independent supply), but it's a pretty harmless change. I can't think of
any reason to say no :-).

Thanks,
Alex

Can't easily move it to the core because how you actually handle it is very
much driver dependent.  A devices that has state will keep it on most of
the time, but other drivers will handle it in runtime pm if the device
starts up quickly enough.

We want this to be visible in individual drivers, even if it would be
less code perhaps in the core.

You'd be surprised how often this gets added to drivers precisely because
people will put it on a controllable supply.  It may well not have it's own
supply but it may share one with a bunch of other external chips and
all of them need to use the regulator framework controls to make sure it's
only disabled when they are all suspended etc.

See the number of times Linus Walleij has added this for various sensors
and ADCs because he has boards where the control is needed.

I figured it might be something like this :-). I've added the vdd-supply
binding in v5.

If this isn't something that can be easily handled in the core, do you
think we can document it somewhere as a convention/common idiom?
(Assuming it's not already documented, of course). It seems like it's
something that all IIO devices would need. I can do the writing part.

Thanks,
Alex

Hmm. We could do with a sort of 'things you'd normally find in a driver'
document.  We don't have such a document, but interesting to think about
what would be in it...  Perhaps a 'best practice' document would
be a better way of putting it.  I don't really want to see a huge
number of patches adding regulators to drivers that don't have them already
for example.  Clearly no one needed them yet :)

If you want to take a stab at such a document that would be great.
