You should be able to use the link above then click on "raw" next to the from line.
That will download you a patch that you can apply with git am.

That is the idea.

In your case, I agree that they are fixed in the hardware so the driver should
provide a read_label callback that simply prints the relevant const string when
requested for a particular channel.
For more general devices, the idea is that DT or similar can provide naming to
indicate that a particular board uses this channel to measure the bus voltage
or things like that. Here we don't need that flexibility.
