I think this device channel selection is onehot. As such only one channel
is ever enabled at a time. See num_slots in ad_sigma_delta
which is set to 1 if not specified. We could argue that maybe one day the
infrastructure will be added to make that code deal with dynamic channel
changes, settling time and all that mess though so maybe it should be
separate even though it makes no difference today.
