The #io-channels-cells can go into the dtsi, that's a sensible thing to do.
The number of cells is part of the binding specification for the XADC and
wont change.
The hwmon bridge on the other hand I wouldn't put into any default
devicetree. In my opinion is should only used if and only if there are
legacy applications on a specific system that need to use the hwmon interface.
