The AD7173 family offer a complete integrated Sigma-Delta ADC solution
which can be used in high precision, low noise single channel applications
or higher speed multiplexed applications. The Sigma-Delta ADC is intended
primarily for measurement of signals close to DC but also delivers
outstanding performance with input bandwidths out to ~10kHz.

Sorry for the late reply as I see this has been applied already but...

(I've been going over the datasheets for these and other related parts
(AD411x) in detail today so please CC me on future updates to the
bindings/driver for these if you don't mind)

As discussed in v8 [1] it is not clear what signal this is. Based on
that discussion, I'm assuming the RDY signal, but how would bindings
consumers know that without a description since it is not the only
digital output signal of the chip? And why the ERROR signal was
omitted here was never addressed AFAICT.

According to the timing diagram in the datasheet, SCLK is high during
idle, so don't we need `spi-cpol: true` here?

Likewise, data is valid on the trailing SCLK edge, so don't we need
`spi-cpha: true` here?

If I'm understanding correctly, this represents both voltage inputs
REF+ and REF-, correct? The datasheet says "Reference Input Negative
Terminal. REF− can span from AVSS to AVDD1 − 1 V". It seems like they
should be separate supplies in case REF- is non-zero. Otherwise, how
can we know what voltage it is? (same comment applies to refin2.)

I overlooked this before, but these chips also have an optional
external clock input so it seems like they should have an optional
clocks property as well.

Why are interrupts required? What if the pin is not connected?

We have plenty of time.  Rather than dropping the ad7173 from my tree,
I'd prefer to see additional patches on top to tidy up whatever
makes sense from David's feedback.

I'd forgotten about that.  Adding interrupt-names would be the easiest
way to resolve this.

Agreed, in this case these are directly used as references (we recently
had another driver that could take a wide range of negative and positive
inputs but in that case an internal reference was generated that didn't
made it not matter exactly what was being supplied.  Not true here though!

Ah. I clearly failed to review this one closely enough.

Absolutely agree that interrupts should never be required.
No need for the driver to work if they aren't, but the binding
shouldn't require them!

I'll add this, but my curiosity for the long run is: How should
differences between what bindings include and what drivers support
should be managed and documented?

Wouldn't it be alright to specify that the voltage specified here should

To make sure that I understand, the driver will not probe without
interrupts, but it is alright to make then optional in the bindings?

This is in the case that someone will want to use this binding and
implement reading with polling?

Drivers almost always support a subset of functionality of the device.
This isn't much different.  The driver 'should' use interrupt-names
but it doesn't need to support all the things that the binding says should
be in there.

Sometimes we document things in a driver, but there isn't any obligation to
do so and those docs are often out of date.

How do you establish the offset to apply to single ended channels if you don't
know the value of REF- (relative to local ground)?

So no - as the device supports single ended channels the difference isn't
enough information.  It would probably be fine to do as you say if it
were a device with only differential channels where all that matters is
the scaling.

Yes - it is fine for a driver to only support a subset of functionality
and fail to probe if that subset isn't what the hardware enables.

Yes.

I'm not sure on that given it's fairly common to do evil things with
Not Gates to implement cheap level converters.  That tends to break
doing this entirely in driver.

However, I'm fine with whatever the current convention on this is.
We can always deal with inverters when hardware turns up that is
doing that.

See other thread - I don't think that works for single ended where we should
probably provide an offset.

Nasty.  However, a valid use case would be to use a single channel
at a time, which case that statement doesn't matter.  We have other
devices that only support onehot channel sequencing - that would work
here.

	I suppose that you are referring to the first page presentation: "Cross
point multiplexer; 8 full differential or 16 single-ended channels". I
consider this to be a bit misleading as all channels are actually fully
differential (must select positive and negative source, AVSS is not one
of them).


	Even more, the datasheet specifies that when using "single-ended"
inputs you need to select which of the pins is the common one and
connect it to the desired GND (be it AVSS, REF-):

"Because there is a cross point mux, the user can set any of the analog
inputs as the common pin. An example of such a scenario is to connect
the AIN16 pin to AVSS or to the REFOUT voltage (that is, AVSS +
2.5 V)" (ad7173-8 page 27)

	For me this is 100% the case that this is a fully differential ADC in
which the datasheet presents a way to use it single-ended. Let's say
that we are using EXT_REF, and REF- is non zero. If someone connects
AVSS to the desired common pin, the ADC will still measure correctly the
difference of voltage between AIN_POS and AIN_NEG and compare it to the
EXT_REF.

Thanks for the explanation. I indeed was mislead by the introduction!
Seems that the difference in the reference inputs is sufficient for this
device.
