Drop, and add 'maxItems: 1'.

Should be a schema. So drop and add:

const: adi

This means 1 uint32.

But this implies 49 entries.

Or 49x2 and that's a uint32-matrix given it's pairs of values. That 
should look something like this:

minItems: 1
maxItems: 49
items:
  items:
    - description: the hardware channel id...
      minimum: ??
      maximum: ?? (range of channel ids?)
    - description: the analog chip address where user want to access...
