Another thing that is missing in this function both for the chips
being added here and the existing chips are channels for _all_
possible inputs. The driver is adding a fixed input channel for the
temperature sensor, as it should. But all of the chips also have a
similar input channel configuration that measures the reference
voltage. Currently, there doesn't seem to be a way to make use of this
feature. I would expect a hard-coded voltage input channel that is
always added for this reference voltage similar to the temperature
channel.
The ad717x chips (except AD7173-8 and AD7176-2) also have a common
mode voltage input ("((AVDD1 − AVSS)/5)") that could work the same.
In the case of the ad717x chips though, it looks like these channels
are not "fixed" like they are in ad411x. It looks like these inputs
can be mixed and matched with AINx inputs and/or each other as
differential pairs. So if that is actually the case, I would expect
the DT bindings for ad717x to look like adi,ad4130.yaml where these
additional input sources are listed in the diff-channels property
instead of having hard-coded channels in the driver like I have
suggested above.
But, as always, fixes for ad717x should be in a separate patch series.
Still, I think adding a hard-coded channel for the reference voltage
input for ad411x chips in this patch makes sense.
