The rising edge of CNV triggers the conversion which causes a latency/delay of one read if CNV is connected to a chip select. I thought it was okay to just accept the latency since it's intrinsic to the ADC start conversion on CNV rising edge and latency would be less noticeable when doing continuous sampling. Although, this indeed causes the timestamps to be disarranged, which is making me rethink the implementation. Yet, if we choose to have extra pulse of CNV for the sake of getting correct timesamps, that might also impact performance for high sample rates (unless split sample handling into different cases for single-shot and buffered readings).

This sounds reasonable to me. I also think the comments on DT patch are good.

Should the driver use devm_regulator_get_optional() instead of devm_regulator_get() because the optional call would fail immediately if no vref-supply while the regular call would only fail at regulator_get_voltage()?

ADC CNV is connected to controller CS and ADC SDI to controller SDO. Think it's something to do with buffer alignment.
