From ab38c083ff12ecfd3e8e30bd5c5ccb4f5b7019f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexandru Ardelean Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2024 16:04:41 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] dt-bindings: iio: adc: document diff-channels corner case for some ADCs Some ADCs have channels with negative and positive inputs, which can be used to measure differential voltage levels. These inputs/pins are dedicated (to the given channel) and cannot be muxed as with other ADCs. For those types of setups, the 'diff-channels' property can be specified to be used with the channel number (or reg property) for both negative and positive inputs/pins.
