This change adds support for the Analog Devices Generic AXI ADC IP core. The IP core is used for interfacing with analog-to-digital (ADC) converters that require either a high-speed serial interface (JESD204B/C) or a source synchronous parallel interface (LVDS/CMOS). Usually, some other interface type (i.e SPI) is used as a control interface for the actual ADC, while the IP core (controlled via this driver), will interface to the data-lines of the ADC and handle the streaming of data into memory via DMA. Because of this, the AXI ADC driver needs the other SPI-ADC driver to register with it. The SPI-ADC needs to be register via the SPI framework, while the AXI ADC registers as a platform driver. The two cannot be ordered in a hierarchy as both drivers have their own registers, and trying to organize this [in a hierarchy becomes] problematic when trying to map memory/registers. There are some modes where the AXI ADC can operate as standalone ADC, but those will be implemented at a later point in time.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
