Channel zero can only measure current over internal resistor (MOSFET). Channel two can only measure current over external resistor. This ADC is part of Battery Monitor System (BMS), i.e. it is not general purpose ADC. Based on DT files in codeaurora repository, only one of the channels is used, probably chosen at schematics design time. In practice, on the systems that use battery, there is always two resistors, and they are connected in sequence, just one of them should be zero.

No. Ideal value for internal resistor is supposed to be 10Mohms. One register(8 bits) hold production time trimmed value, which represent difference against ideal value. It looks like some times real resistor values is too far from ideal and register can't hold the difference, so some additional hints are needed.

Regardless of what the driver does, does the hardware have > multi-channel capability? Strictly speaking, yes. But I don't see how both of them could used at the same time in practice.
