To follow up on this. 

For single ended only devices we just let reg reference the the channel.
For differential channels that never worked (because there was a pair).
So for mixed devices it's a bit of a mess.

I'd be happy if we cleaned that up by adding a binding alongside
diff-channels that was simply channel.

For single ended only devices it would be optional but it would make
this device and similar easier to describe.

We can wrap it up in a helper function that queries channel first
and falls back to reg if it isn't there.

Maybe could call it single-channel to make it obvious it's an either
or with diff-channels.

With hindsight we could have just made that take 1 or 2 elements and
given it a generic name from the start.   Ah the wonder if retro designing
interfaces... :(

New element in adc.yaml would looks something like.
  single-channel:
    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
    description:
      When devices combine single and differential channels, allow
      the channel for a single element to be specified, independent
      of reg (as for differentila channels). If this and
      diff-channels are not present reg shall be used instead.
