  The ads7828 driver accepts an optional ads7828_platform_data structure (defined
  in include/linux/platform_data/ads7828.h). The structure fields are:
  
  * diff_input: (bool) Differential operation
    set to true for differential mode, false for default single ended mode.
  
  * ext_vref: (bool) External reference
    set to true if it operates with an external reference, false for default
    internal reference.
  
  * vref_mv: (unsigned int) Voltage reference
    if using an external reference, set this to the reference voltage in mV,
    otherwise it will default to the internal value (2500mV). This value will be
    bounded with limits accepted by the chip, described in the datasheet.
  
   If no structure is provided, the configuration defaults to single ended
   operation and internal voltage reference (2.5V).

  The ADS7828 device is a 12-bit 8-channel A/D converter, while the ADS7830 does
  8-bit sampling.

  It can operate in single ended mode (8 +ve inputs) or in differential mode,
  where 4 differential pairs can be measured.
  
  The chip also has the facility to use an external voltage reference.  This
  may be required if your hardware supplies the ADS7828 from a 5V supply, see
  the datasheet for more details.

  There is no reliable way to identify this chip, so the driver will not scan
  some addresses to try to auto-detect it. That means that you will have to
  statically declare the device in the platform support code.
