[PATCH v1 1/2] dt-bindings: iio: adc: Add binding for Nuvoton NCT720x ADCs

Dear Jonathan Cameron,

Thank you for your advice.

I would remove the "nvuoton,read-vin-data-size" property.

Read VIN info can use word read or byte read, and other registers
should use byte read.
If I use word read for VIN info and byte read for other registers,
I encounter an issue when I use regmap instead of i2c smbus API.

I need two regmap configs with val_bits 8/16.
After I call devm_regmap_init_i2c these two configs,
the error message:
"debugfs: Directory '5-001d' with parent 'regmap' already present!"

Do you have any suggestions?
