Sorry... I didn't understand what you meant by"AIN5 is muxed always with
AIN0"?

Hmmm... nobody has reported such behavior before. ADC support for
am335x-evm/beaglebone has been there for quite long time, but nobody
reported any jitter on AIN5 line. I think this may be specific to
your setup. Can you provide more info with regard to your setup?
Which kernel? Is it am335x-evm or beaglebone or a custom board?

Sorry, I am not yet clear on your bug/use-case.
