[PATCH v5 7/9] dt-bindings: iio: adc: document diff-channels corner case for some ADCs

[Alexandru Ardelean]

Some ADCs have channels with negative and positive inputs, which can be
used to measure differential voltage levels. These inputs/pins are
dedicated (to the given channel) and cannot be muxed as with other ADCs.

For those types of setups, the 'diff-channels' property can be specified to
be used with the channel number (or reg property) for both negative and
positive inputs/pins.
