Some ADCs have channels with negative and positive inputs, which can be
used to measure differential voltage levels. These inputs/pins are
dedicated (to the given channel) and cannot be muxed as with other ADCs.
For those types of setups, the 'diff-channels' property can be specified to
be used with the channel number (or reg property) for both negative and
positive inputs/pins.
