As long as the build bots don't complain, there isn't a reason to
change it. It is just a matter of personal preference at that point.

I got a sparse warning for something like this recently [1], but maybe
that case was just because it was inside of a FIELD_PREP() using it as
bit logic instead of addition and we won't get any warnings here.

As discussed elsewhere, you can disregard this suggestion.

In the discussions on the AD7380 patch series, we came to the
conclusion that pseduo-differential is technically not differential in
the context of the .differential flag in IIO.

But as mentioned in my follow up, for this driver it is going to make
things far simpler if we just ignore that and treat
pseudo-differential the same as fully differential.
