This link gives a 404 error. Is there a typo?

I'm not convinced that this belongs in the devicetree. It seems like
everything related to toggling can and should be left to runtime
configuration.

There is also an input supply for each output channel on ltc2672, so I
think we also need vdd0-supply, vdd1-supply, etc.

On ltc2664, there is V+ instead so it needs v-pos-supply.

And there is V~ on both which can be between -5.5V/-15.75V and GND, so
optional v-neg-supply seems appropriate.

There is no VREF pin, so it looks like there is a typo. And it would
make more sense to call this ref-supply as well.

Some other potentially properties for complete bindings that would be
trivial to add now:

* (ltc2672) There is a FAULT output pin, so it would make sense to
have an interrupts property for that signal.
* (both) I haven't done any DACs myself yet, but I see ldac-gpios on a
few other bindings. I assume this is the typical way for handling the
LDAC signal on most DACs?
* (both) I see these have daisy chain capabilities, so an optional
#daisy-chained-devices could be appropriate.

Maybe not so trivial:

* (both) The MUX/MUXOUT pins look like we have an embedded pin mux, so
it could mean we need #pinctrl-cells. ltc2664 would also need
muxin-gpios for this.

Are these always hard-wired or could they be connected to gpios and
made configurable at runtime?

How would someone writing a .dts know what values to select for this
property? Or is this something that should be configured at runtime
instead of in the devicetree? Or should this info come from the
missing voltage supplies I mentioned?

This is the kind of description that would be helpful on some of the
other properties. It does a good job of explaining what value to
select based on what is connected to the chip.

Same comments as adi,output-range-microvolt apply here.
