I was looking at the datasheet for another ADC that popped up on the mailing
list today. https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/ads1262.pdf

It also has a chop mode and filters very similar to this one. So perhaps another
reason to make chop a separate bool attribute that could considered a "standard"
attribute.
