Hi Jonathan,

I originally used st,... form, when writing this patch, until I found
out there's 'min-sample-time' in vf610 adc dt-bindings:
- Documentation/devicetree/bindings/iio/adc/vf610-adc.txt
It looks like to me very similar.

I also agree it misses '-nsecs' units. Sure, I can use your suggestion
above...

Please can you just confirm if I should use same property as vf610 adc,
or 'st,min-sample-time-nsecs' ?

Thanks for reviewing,
Best regards,
Fabrice
