I appreciate the desire to not have magic values. However, I think
these are okay. We don't use them anywhere else, and it is obvious
from reading that they are the registers containing the ADC values for
each channel.

The alternative would look like this:

+     ASPEED_ADC_CHAN(14, ASPEED_ADC_CHAN_14_DATA),
+     ASPEED_ADC_CHAN(15, ASPEED_ADC_CHAN_15_DATA),

Which doesn't really help me as someone reading the code.

The label comes out as "adc.1e6e9000". This is the reg property and
the node name from the device tree, which seems sensible, even if it
is a bit strange to be grabbing the name of the parent device for it.

Could the iio core fill in a sensible name for us here? Rick is the
31st person to make this mistake, so it would be nice to fix properly.
