Thanks for the CC. I _think_ the only place we use these ADCs is for
certain thermistors and I think that those are all just hooked up in
the device tree, so the channel name doesn't matter. I'll also note
that no Qualcomm Chromebooks are shipping with anything newer than
kernel 5.15 right now, and (I checked) the ChromeOS 5.15 tree doesn't
have commit 4f47a236a23d ("iio: adc: qcom-spmi-adc5: convert to device
properties"). Thus, even if I'm wrong and the name is used someplace
hidden then the "old" name would be better for us. I haven't tested
the patch myself, but it sounds as if ${SUBJECT} patch is actually
moving us back to the old name.

+Matthias to keep me honest since he's spent more time with the ADCs.
