The ad7124-4 and ad7124-8 both support 16 channel registers and assigns
each channel defined in dt statically such a register. While the driver
could be a bit more clever about this, it currently isn't and specifying
more than 16 channels yields broken behaviour. So just refuse to bind in
this situation.
