Upon closer look, the demux is intended to be at the analog side, but that
doesn't matter much.

When using an MB88101A, the (4ch) demux is part of the ADC chip, which
has 4 analog inputs and 2 channel select inputs.
The other supported ADCs (ADCS7476/ADC121, AD7476, MAX1162) are
really single-channel ADCs, and thus require an external demux.

But nobody says you have to use/populate all channels.
The Gyro-ADC will still scan all 4 or 8 channels, though.
