Subject: [PATCH v2] dt-bindings: iio: adc: Convert xilinx-xadc bindings to YAML schema

From: Pramod Maurya <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 9 May 2026 14:07:14 -0400

Convert the Xilinx XADC and UltraScale System Monitor device tree binding
from the legacy plain-text format to a YAML schema, enabling automated
validation with dt-schema.

The new binding covers the same hardware and compatible strings:
  - xlnx,zynq-xadc-1.00.a (ZYNQ hardmacro)
  - xlnx,axi-xadc-1.00.a  (AXI softmacro)
  - xlnx,system-management-wiz-1.3 (UltraScale System Management Wizard)

Signed-off-by: Pramod Maurya <[email-masked]>

Changes in v2:
- Fix patternProperties regex to use lowercase hex unit addresses
  (channel@a through channel@f) instead of decimal; correct range
  is now "^channel@([0-9a-f]|10)$"
- Add allOf/if/then conditional to enforce xlnx,external-mux-channel
  is required when xlnx,external-mux is "single" or "dual"

-Xilinx XADC device driver
-
-This binding document describes the bindings for the Xilinx 7 Series XADC as well
-as the UltraScale/UltraScale+ System Monitor.
-
-The Xilinx XADC is an ADC that can be found in the Series 7 FPGAs from Xilinx.
-The XADC has a DRP interface for communication. Currently two different
-frontends for the DRP interface exist. One that is only available on the ZYNQ
-family as a hardmacro in the SoC portion of the ZYNQ. The other one is available
-on all series 7 platforms and is a softmacro with a AXI interface. This binding
-document describes the bindings for both of them since the bindings are very
-similar.
-
-The Xilinx System Monitor is an ADC that is found in the UltraScale and
-UltraScale+ FPGAs from Xilinx. The System Monitor provides a DRP interface for
-communication. Xilinx provides a standard IP core that can be used to access the
-System Monitor through an AXI interface in the FPGA fabric. This IP core is
-called the Xilinx System Management Wizard. This document describes the bindings
-for this IP.
-
-Required properties:
-	- compatible: Should be one of
-		* "xlnx,zynq-xadc-1.00.a": When using the ZYNQ device
-		  configuration interface to interface to the XADC hardmacro.
-		* "xlnx,axi-xadc-1.00.a": When using the axi-xadc pcore to
-		  interface to the XADC hardmacro.
-		* "xlnx,system-management-wiz-1.3": When using the
-		  Xilinx System Management Wizard fabric IP core to access the
-		  UltraScale and UltraScale+ System Monitor.
-	- reg: Address and length of the register set for the device
-	- interrupts: Interrupt for the XADC control interface.
-	- clocks: When using the ZYNQ this must be the ZYNQ PCAP clock,
-	  when using the axi-xadc or the axi-system-management-wizard this must be
-	  the clock that provides the clock to the AXI bus interface of the core.
-
-Optional properties:
-	- xlnx,external-mux:
-		* "none": No external multiplexer is used, this is the default
-		  if the property is omitted.
-		* "single": External multiplexer mode is used with one
-		   multiplexer.
-		* "dual": External multiplexer mode is used with two
-		  multiplexers for simultaneous sampling.
-	- xlnx,external-mux-channel: Configures which pair of pins is used to
-	  sample data in external mux mode.
-	  Valid values for single external multiplexer mode are:
-		0: VP/VN
-		1: VAUXP[0]/VAUXN[0]
-		2: VAUXP[1]/VAUXN[1]
-		...
-		16: VAUXP[15]/VAUXN[15]
-	  Valid values for dual external multiplexer mode are:
-		1: VAUXP[0]/VAUXN[0] - VAUXP[8]/VAUXN[8]
-		2: VAUXP[1]/VAUXN[1] - VAUXP[9]/VAUXN[9]
-		...
-		8: VAUXP[7]/VAUXN[7] - VAUXP[15]/VAUXN[15]
-
-	  This property needs to be present if the device is configured for
-	  external multiplexer mode (either single or dual). If the device is
-	  not using external multiplexer mode the property is ignored.
-	- xnlx,channels: List of external channels that are connected to the ADC
-	  Required properties:
-		* #address-cells: Should be 1.
-		* #size-cells: Should be 0.
-
-	  The child nodes of this node represent the external channels which are
-	  connected to the ADC. If the property is no present no external
-	  channels will be assumed to be connected.
-
-	  Each child node represents one channel and has the following
-	  properties:
-		Required properties:
-			* reg: Pair of pins the channel is connected to.
-				0: VP/VN
-				1: VAUXP[0]/VAUXN[0]
-				2: VAUXP[1]/VAUXN[1]
-				...
-				16: VAUXP[15]/VAUXN[15]
-			  Note each channel number should only be used at most
-			  once.
-		Optional properties:
-			* xlnx,bipolar: If set the channel is used in bipolar
-			  mode.
-
-
-Examples:
-	xadc@f8007100 {
-		compatible = "xlnx,zynq-xadc-1.00.a";
-		reg = <0xf8007100 0x20>;
-		interrupts = <0 7 4>;
-		interrupt-parent = <&gic>;
-		clocks = <&pcap_clk>;
-
-		xlnx,channels {
-			#address-cells = <1>;
-			#size-cells = <0>;
-			channel@0 {
-				reg = <0>;
-			};
-			channel@1 {
-				reg = <1>;
-			};
-			channel@8 {
-				reg = <8>;
-			};
-		};
-	};
-
-	xadc@43200000 {
-		compatible = "xlnx,axi-xadc-1.00.a";
-		reg = <0x43200000 0x1000>;
