cover Add MAX22530-MAX22532 ADC Support

Hello iio/maintainers,

This patch series adds initial support for the Analog Devices Maxim family of MAX22530-MAX22532 ADCs. These are galvanically isolated, 4-channel, multiplexed, 12-bit, analog-to-digital converters (ADC) in the MAXSafe™ family product line. An integrated, isolated, DC-DC converter powers all fieldside circuitry, and this allows field-side diagnostics even when no input signal is present.

The first patch adds the device tree documentation for the ADC. The DT binding has been verified with DT_BINDING_CHECK. The second patch adds the read functionality for raw and average ADC values from registers.

The code was tested with Raspberry Pi5 and MAX22531_EVKIT_A. With the current driver version, it is possible to do single-shot read of ADC sample data. On a preliminary version of the max22531 driver with debugfs_reg_access callbacks, it was also possible to read/write from/to different device registers and obtain the expected results.

Details of the test setup can be found at
https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/linux-drivers/iio-adc/max22531

This code was developed as part of the GSoC project for Linux Foundation. Many thanks to my mentors Marcelo Schmitt, Ceclan Dumitru, Jonathan Santos & Dragos Bogdan for their guidance and reviews throughout the course of this programme.

Please do not develop on old trees. You need to rebase your patchset and test it on latest mainline kernel.

You CC-ed an address, which suggests you do not work on mainline kernel or you do not use get_maintainers.pl/b4/patman. Please rebase and always work on mainline or start using mentioned tools, so correct addresses will be used.

See below for reasoning. Split these into separate structures rather than an array.

Rather than having side effect of leaving a negative in *readval, use a local variable and only assign readval if all is good.

A failure to read is a bug that we should fail on, whereas the value read not matching is indeed something were a warn or info makes sense. So split this check

Whilst this style used to be common, over time we've come to the conclusion that an indexed array for these doesn't bring value. Instead just have separate structures with names that indicate which chip they are for. max22532_chip_info etc That allows the enum to be dropped which has the advantage of removing the temptation to use it for anything else (which is usually a bad idea)
