If you haven't seen it already, I'm currently working on ADS112C14
which is a more complex, but otherwise very similar version of this
chip.

I think the differences are enough that it would be quite messy to
try to share DT bindings and code, so OK with me to proceed with
new bindings and driver. But we should try to make the use all of
the same conventions as much as we can. (And to make maintainers
happy, explain this in the cover letter so they don't ask why we
we need a new bindings/driver.)

For reference here are the bindings for that:

VREF is an internal signal. Technically, these are REFP and REFN and both
could have a supply connected to them. Also, there could be a resistor
connected across these instead of a supply. See ti,refp-refn-resistor-ohms
in ADS112C14 bindings and 3-wire RTD example in the datasheet (figure 74).

Additionally, we need channel properties to describe a bit about what is
connected to each AINn pin.  We will need single-channel, diff-channels,
excitation-channels, excitation-current-nanoamp, and reference-sources
similar to ADS112C14.

avdd-supply and dvdd-supply are required to power the device.
