I dunno if my brain just ain't workin' right today, or if this is not
sufficiently explained, but why is this property needed? You've got
diff-channels and single-channels already, why can you not infer the
information you need from them? What should software do with this
information?
Additionally, "pseudo-differential" is not explained in this binding.
Also, what does "the device register configurations are the same for
all uses types" mean? The description here implies that you'd be reading
the registers to determine the configuration, but as far as I understand
it's the job of drivers to actually configure devices.
The only way I could interpret this that makes sense to me is that you're
trying to say that the device doesn't have registers that allow you to
do runtime configuration detection - but that's the norm and I would not
call it out here.
Thanks,
Conor.
