Now that I have been enlightened [1] about pseudo-differntial inputs,
I'm thinking that AD7944 and AD7985 should not have the .differential
= 1 flag set since they are pseudo-differential inputs with a ground
sense on the negative input (and no extra supply needed since it is
always ground). Does that sound right?

AD7986 is true differential though, so should be correct already.
