Hi Rob, Jonathan,

Yes, both properties can be used together. Some channels can be used as
single-ended and some other ones as differential (mixed). But channels
can't be configured both as single-ended and differential (invalid).

I'll mention this in the note, and also update differential channels
example:

Example to setup:
- channel 1 as single-ended
- channels 2 & 3 as differential (with resp. 6 & 7 negative inputs)

	adc: adc@40022000 {
		compatible = "st,stm32h7-adc-core";
		...
		adc1: adc@0 {
			compatible = "st,stm32h7-adc";
			...
			st,adc-channels = <1>;
			st,adc-diff-channels = <2 6>, <3 7>;
		};
	};

I will send V2 with these updates.

Thanks,
Best Regards,
Fabrice
