Thanks for the quick update. Second review:

With the detect function being gone, this is no longer true.

I see you've updated the comment, presumably this is how you addressed
my concern about exposing all 8 input settings. I am really curious how
it can make sense to expose both direct and differential values
involving the same pins. The pcf8591 driver, which has to handle a
smiliar case, only exposes channels which make physical sense together
(it does so using a module parameter for historical reason, nowadays we
would use platform data for this.)

So I am still convinced that this part should be reworked. That being
said, you obviously know more than I do with regards to how you intend
to use the driver, so I'll leave you the last work on this.

You return with data->update_lock held.

The only purpose of the address list is for the detect function, which
you just dropped. So you can remove the address list too. Same goes for
the class.
