Why are we getting new devices with linear vendor prefixes? My
understanding was that new devices from ADI subsidiaries were to use the
adi vendor prefix.

Hmm, ltc2387-16 does not appear to have these signals?
Well, it has "cnv" but "cnv" has "sample clock" as the input name so is
the clocks property above and pwm-clock can be used if the provider is a
pwm?

Either there's some mutual exclusion missing here or the modelling in
incorrect.

"clk_gate" doesn't appear in either of the datasheets I looked at, what
does that actually do?

Please explain how this is not determinable from the compatible.
