Hello and thank you for the feedback!

I will change the pattern property and the description.

Regarding the channels, I followed the existing style of the driver for 
the AD7194 channels: one iio channel for each pseudo-differential input 
channel(AINx - AINCOM), summing up to 16 channels; and one iio channel 
for each differential channel (AINx - AINy), summing up to 8 channels. 
For the diff-channels, I thought the possible values should be 1->16 
corresponding to AIN1->AIN16 (I will add this to the description as 
suggested by David).

Kind regards,
