I didn't check the data-sheet, but if the pins can be set to be GPIOs or 
ADC inputs, then I would require channels to be specified. It's only 8 
channels, so always listing channels that are present shouldn't be that 
big of a problem - and it should avoid one to add extra properties to 
denote channels used for GPIO if GPIOs need to be supported.

Well, I am not insisting this, there are folks that know this stuff 
better than I :)
