Mixed single end and differential channel devices that have per channel
child nodes need a more complex description to avoid reg have different
and possibly clashing meanings for the two types of channel.

See inline.

And what is it in differential mode?  (usually just an index).
Which is a problem if you have a mix.  That's why we added
single-channel.

So for devices where reg isn't enough, you can use:
reg: index of channel, not real meaning just makes them unique.
single-channel: The channel number for single ended.
diff-channels: The channel numbers for differential channels.

Should be constraints / information on the values possible.
I've no idea what the 8 is in your example for instance.
