Hi Rob,

 > The allOf and required are effectively covered by adc.yaml already.

The channel-level required list is redundant; I'll remove it.

For the allOf, adc.yaml currently has:

anyOf:
   - oneOf:
       - required:
           - reg
           - diff-channels
       - required:
           - reg
           - single-channel
   - required:
       - reg

When both single-channel and diff-channels are present, the inner
oneOf fails, but the reg-only branch still satisfies the outer anyOf.
Removing the local constraint would therefore allow both properties
together, which the driver rejects.

Should I keep the local check, or move the mutual-exclusion constraint
into adc.yaml?

Thanks,
Chi-Wen
