[PATCH v4 01/10] dt-bindings: adc: add excitation-current-chopping property

[Kurt Borja]

Add a generic excitation-current-chopping property. This is a feature
seen frequently in ADCs that are designed to ratiometrically measure
resistive loads, such as RTDs and strain gauges. Enabling this can
reduce any error due to excitation current mismatch by swapping
excitation sources of alternate conversions. This can have side-effects
in timing and filter response, so it is not always desirable to enable
this feature in some applications. Therefore, it is best to make this a
property that can be enabled or disabled in the device tree.
