+AD7944 driver
+=============
+
+ADC driver for Analog Devices Inc. AD7944 and similar devices. The module name
+is ``ad7944``.
+
+
+Supported devices
+=================
+
+The following chips are supported by this driver:
+
+* `AD7944 <https://www.analog.com/AD7944>`_
+* `AD7985 <https://www.analog.com/AD7985>`_
+* `AD7986 <https://www.analog.com/AD7986>`_
+
+
+Supported features
+==================
+
+SPI wiring modes
+----------------
+
+The driver currently supports three of the many possible SPI wiring configurations.
+
+CS mode, 3-wire, without busy indicator
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block::
+
+ +-------------+
+ +--------------------| CS |
+ v | |
+ VIO +--------------------+ | HOST |
+ | | CNV | | |
+ +--->| SDI AD7944 SDO |-------->| SDI |
+ | SCK | | |
+ +--------------------+ | |
+ ^ | |
+ +--------------------| SCLK |
+ +-------------+
+
+To select this mode in the device tree, set the ``adi,spi-mode`` property to
+``"single"`` and omit the ``cnv-gpios`` property.
+
+CS mode, 4-wire, without busy indicator
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block::
+
+ +-------------+
+ +-----------------------------------| CS |
+ | | |
+ | +--------------------| GPIO |
+ | v | |
+ | +--------------------+ | HOST |
+ | | CNV | | |
+ +--->| SDI AD7944 SDO |-------->| SDI |
+ | SCK | | |
+ +--------------------+ | |
+ ^ | |
+ +--------------------| SCLK |
+ +-------------+
+
+To select this mode in the device tree, omit the ``adi,spi-mode`` property and
+provide the ``cnv-gpios`` property.
+
+Chain mode, without busy indicator
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block::
+
+ +-------------+
+ +-------------------------+--------------------| CS |
+ v v | |
+ +--------------------+ +--------------------+ | HOST |
+ | CNV | | CNV | | |
+ +--->| SDI AD7944 SDO |--->| SDI AD7944 SDO |-------->| SDI |
+ | | SCK | | SCK | | |
+ GND +--------------------+ +--------------------+ | |
+ ^ ^ | |
+ +-------------------------+--------------------| SCLK |
+ +-------------+
+
+To select this mode in the device tree, set the ``adi,spi-mode`` property to
+``"chain"``, add the ``spi-cs-high`` flag, add the ``#daisy-chained-devices``
+property, and omit the ``cnv-gpios`` property.
+
+Reference voltage
+-----------------
+
+All 3 possible reference voltage sources are supported:
+
+- Internal reference
+- External 1.2V reference and internal buffer
+- External reference
+
+The source is determined by the device tree. If ``ref-supply`` is present, then
+the external reference is used. If ``refin-supply`` is present, then the internal
+buffer is used. If neither is present, then the internal reference is used.
+
+Unimplemented features
+----------------------
+
+- ``BUSY`` indication
+- ``TURBO`` mode
+
+
+Device attributes
+=================
+
+There are two types of ADCs in this family, pseudo-differential and fully
+differential. The channel name is different depending on the type of ADC.
+
+Pseudo-differential ADCs
+------------------------
+
+AD7944 and AD7985 are pseudo-differential ADCs and have the following attributes:
+
++---------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Attribute | Description |
++=======================================+==============================================================+
+| ``in_voltage0_raw`` | Raw ADC voltage value (*IN+* referenced to ground sense). |
++---------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+| ``in_voltage0_scale`` | Scale factor to convert raw value to mV. |
++---------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+In "chain" mode, additional chips will appear as additional voltage input
+channels, e.g. ``in_voltage1_raw``.
+
+Fully-differential ADCs
+-----------------------
+
+AD7986 is a fully-differential ADC and has the following attributes:
+
++---------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Attribute | Description |
++=======================================+==============================================================+
+| ``in_voltage0-voltage1_raw`` | Raw ADC voltage value (*IN+* - *IN-*). |
++---------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+| ``in_voltage0-voltage1_scale`` | Scale factor to convert raw value to mV. |
++---------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+In "chain" mode, additional chips will appear as additional voltage input
+channels, e.g. ``in_voltage2-voltage3_raw``.
+
+
+Device buffers
+==============
+
+This driver supports IIO triggered buffers.
