Late feedback (sorry!) but I think we should resolve the single ended
channel description so that it sits at the same level in DT binding
as do differential channels.  Current situation just feels inconsistent.

See DT binding reply.  Should be easy to do now, and wouldn't be possible
to add later.  It would be possible to add support for moving to
per channel DT entries for a driver that previously assumed all should be
available, but we can't easily move from assuming all single ended channels
are but differential are specified by DT child nodes.

I think it's worth making these more similar to the differential channels.
Seems odd to allow DT to provide that list, but not the same for single ended.
See comment on binding.  Should be fairly easy to add now, and if we
leave it until later, there won't be a way to move this forwards because
we won't be able to tell if no single ended channels in DT means none
are relevant, or if it means the DT file predates us adding per single ended
channel description.
