I added items: minimum:1 maximum:16 to make sure the numbers are from 1 to 16, corresponding to AIN1-AIN16.

Having looked at the datasheet for this and other similar chips, I agree
that this reasoning makes sense. Some of the similar chips that have fixed
channel assignments still have, e.g. a channel where + and - are both
AIN2 (I assume for diagnostics). So I think it makes sense to allow for
doing something similar here even if the most common use cases will
probably have at most 16 channels defined in the .dts.
