Bindings are before users.

Please use subject prefixes matching the subsystem. You can get them for
example with `git log --oneline -- DIRECTORY_OR_FILE` on the directory
your patch is touching.
There is no file extension in prefixes.

No, use existing, generic properties. Open other bindings for this.

Also, none of these were tested. I am not going to review such untested
code.

It does not look like you tested the bindings, at least after quick
look. Please run `make dt_binding_check` (see
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/writing-schema.rst for instructions).
Maybe you need to update your dtschema and yamllint.

Krzysztof

You mean I should use generic properties for the ADC calibration
settings? Is there already something in place? Because as I understand
it, these calib-* values only effect the calibration process of the ADC.

You are right, I did not run the dt_binding_check, sorry for this,
forgot that this existed. I see now I have to add the:

Will fix in v2.

Did you run the command I proposed? I don't see much of "/", but except

Please take a look at other devices and dtschema. We already have some
properties for this... but maybe they cannot be used?

I did look into other ADC devices, grep across iio/adc, adc bindings
folders and couldn't find anything closely related to what we are
looking for. Could you please point me to the properties that you think
should be used for this?

Indeed, there are few device specific like qcom,avg-samples. We have
though oversampling-ratio, settling-time-us and min-sample-time (which
is not that good because does not use unit suffix).

Then follow up questions:
- nxp,calib-avg-en: Why is it a board-level decision? I would assume
this depends on user choice and what kind of input you have (which could
be board dependent or could be runtime decision).
- nxp,calib-t-samples: what does it mean? Time is expressed in time
units, but there is nothing about units in the property name.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

Ok, these are examples but I think I should not use them, since these
are i.MX93 ADC specific settings, which are used for configuration of
calibration process, and are not related to the standard conversion
process during runtime. Calibration process is the first step that
should be done after every power-on reset.

Not really sure I get your question, so please elaborate if I missed the
point.
This is a user choice, to enable or disable the averaging function in
calibration, but this is a board-level decision, probably relates on
external ADC regulators and input connections. The same options are used
for every ADC channel and this can not be a runtime decision, since
calibration is done before the ADC is even registered.

You are right, basically this is "time" in cycles of AD_CLK. I should at
least add that to the property description.

I'll raise this question in reply to the cover letter or patch 1 where
it is perhaps more appropriate, but I'd really like to know more about why
these are useful at all.

No vendor prefix, so they rather should be generic, not imx93
specific... But this the binding for imx93, so I don't understand your
statement.

You now mix how Linux driver behaves with hardware. Why you cannot
recalibrate later, e.g. when something else is being connected to the
exposed pins?

Based on my current understanding what we have here is not remotely
generic, so standard properties don't make sense (though naming the
nxp ones in a consistent fashion with other bindings is useful)

I'm not entirely convinced there is a strong argument to support them at all
though. Still thinking / gathering info on that.

Generally we don't make strong efforts to support dev board use cases where
the components wired tend to change. So normally this isn't too much of
a concern. Previously, we've tried to support this stuff and it always
ends up as a mess because of the crazy range of things that can be wired.
