Hi David,

> Why are we adding bindings without a driver to use them?

There is already a driver for these devices in
drivers/staging/iio/adc/ad7816.c, which includes OF match entries
for "adi,ad7816", "adi,ad7817", and "adi,ad7818".

This binding is intended to document the existing DT interface.

Thanks,
Hungyu
