Currently AD7124-8 driver cannot use more than 8 IIO channels because it was assigning the channel configurations bijectively to channels specified in the device-tree. This is not possible to do when using more than 8 channels as AD7124-8 has only 8 configuration registers. To allow the user to use all channels at once the driver will keep in memory configurations for all channels but will program only 8 of them at a time on the device. If multiple channels have the same configuration, only one configuration register will be used. If there are more configurations than available registers only the last 8 used configurations will be allowed to exist on the device in a LRU fashion.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
