I noticed this doesn't have the "ti," prefix. Is your plan to add this
to adc.yaml?

Also, do you think excitation-pins might be a better name?

If you agree with the above comment, I think this too should be added.
In that case, can we call this something like
excitation-current-rotation for less ambiguity?

I say this because my device has an "IDAC rotation mode", but it also has
a "Chop Mode" which rotates analog inputs and averages consecutive
conversions.
