[v2,1/7] dt-bindings: ROHM BD79104 ADC

Commit Message

The ROHM BD79104 is a 12-bit, 8-channel ADC with two power supply pins,
connected to SPI. It's worth noting the IC requires SPI MODE 3, (CPHA =
1, CPOL = 1).

I used an evaluation board "BD79104FV-EVK-001" from ROHM. With this
board I had problems to have things working correctly with higher SPI
clock frequencies. I didn't do thorough testing for maximum frequency
though. First attempt was 40M, then 20M and finally 4M. With 20M it
seemed as if the read values were shifted by 1 bit. With 4M it worked
fine.

The component data-sheet is not exact what comes to the maximum SPI
frequency. It says SPI frequency is 20M - "unless othervice specified".
Additionally, it says that maximum sampling rate is 1Mhz, and since
reading a sample requires writing the channel (16 bits) and reading
data (16 bits) - we get some upper limit from this.

From the "frequency is 20M, unless othervice specified" I picked the
maximum frequency 20M - and did assumption that my problems with 20M
weren't related to the BD79104 - but to the evaluation board
"BD79104FV-EVK-001".

Add bindings for the ROHM BD79104 ADC.
