For Lazor theoretically this could be done since it doesn't use other ADC
channels, however it won't work for other trogdor devices that will be
upstreamed eventually. Some of these boards have the same problem, however
they have other thermistors connected to the ADC. One could argue that it's
preferable to do things in a uniform way, but I'm open to do it either way
for Lazor.
