Fixed in v4.

Removed property name in the description.

The entries are channel numbers that use a pre-scaler.
Assume 2 VMs, with 16 channels each (so 32 channels in total, numbered
from 0 to 31) and assume: moortec,vm-pre-scaler = /bits/ 8 <5 6 20>;
This means that only channels 5 6 and 20 use a pre-scaler, and the driver
will use a factor of 2 only for these channels.

For v4 I renamed the property name to be "moortec,vm-pre-scaler-x2".
And I changed binding to:

moortec,vm-pre-scaler-x2:
description:
   Defines the channels that use a mr76006 pre-scaler to divide the input
   source by 2.
   The pre-scaler is used for input sources that exceed the VM input range.
   The driver uses this information to present to the user with the actual
   value of the voltage source.
   For channels that are not listed, no pre-scaler is assumed.
   Maximum number of items - total number of channels in all VMs.
   Each channel should not appear more than once.

What I meant was the in-case channel is not defined the default pre-
scaler value is 1.

Added some constraints in the new description above.
