In place of the external vref input, the MCP48XX series chips also
have a "SHDN" input, which is an active-low pin to disable the whole
chip and put it in a low power state. Future users of the bindings
may want to model this as being tied to some GPIO, though I haven't
done it here since I don't care about this feature.
