I don't review bindings for a job, I can only reliably get to look at
my mail queue in the evenings, please give me a chance to reply to you
before you submit a new version.

Same comments about filename and title apply here as the previous
version. "TI $foo Sigma Delta Modulator" and drop the reference to back
ends or the pretence of being generic.

Thanks,
Conor.

Sorry, the short review delay.

The logic here is the same as for the former sigma delta modulator 
driver. (see discussion [1])
I mean introducing a generic and minimalist driver to support sd 
modulators, but not dedicated to a specific modulator. The ads1201 is 
chosen as a basic modulator here. But it is rather an arbitrary choice.

I agree "backend" reference is not really relevant here. I have to think 
about a way to manage the coexistence of this sigma delta modulator 
driver with its former version.

To be blunt, I don't care about drivers! Well I do, but not in this
particular context. You can absolutely have a driver that supports
multiple backends or sigma delta modulators, but right now we are
talking about a binding and this binding supports exactly one sigma
delta modulator - and with an explicit compatible. In that context,
presenting the binding as generic makes little sense.

Looking at this though, I question the binding more... The programming
model of the device is identical as a backend or otherwise, so it
shouldn't be getting a new compatible. Isn't this actually as simple as
adding #io-backend-cells to the existing binding and using that to
determine whether the device is being used as a backend or in isolation?

Thanks,
Conor.

For sure. I came to the same conclusion. My first idea was to isolate 
the deprecated binding. But I agree that the best approach is to adapt 
the existing binding. I prepared a v3 like this.
