This looks like a nice general interface, but really isn't as it only applies
to the first two channels.

Can you use the standard channel defintions
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/iio/adc.txt
to specify this?

It may seem overly complex, but it has the benefit of being generic.

Would be something like:

channel@0 {
	diff-channels = < 0 1 >
};
channel@2 {
};
vs all the channels being present, none set as diff.

Thanks,

Jonathan
