That would be perfect.  Thanks for taking this on,

A few comments below from me.

This should map to the generic channel description in
adc.yaml.  If we need to extend that then we can do that rather than a
separate device specific definition.

Note that is relatively new, so there are lots of drivers with older
bindings in tree that do things more closely to what you have here.

Why a DT property? Normally we'd leave this to userspace control.

Why is this a DT property?

If we do keep it as such use the actual values (via an enum)
and rename it to add -hz which will then remove the nee for the
$ref
