Add core support for the AD7768 and AD7768-4 simultaneous sampling ADCs.
Configure supplies, clock and reset, use a custom regmap bus for the SPI
protocol, and parse the enabled channels and input buffer settings from
devicetree.

Connect the converter to an IIO backend for buffered capture with CRC,
provide a fixed safe wideband sampling configuration and add runtime
power management.

Do we never care about the offset inherent in where the negative sits?  

The absolute REFx- voltage does not introduce an offset into the ADC transfer function. The datasheet defines VREF as REFx+ - REFx- and the LSB size as (2 * VREF)/2^24. Zero code remains at AINx+ - AINx- = 0.

Fair enough - I'm not sure what I had in mind.
