So, in analogue with _BY_TYPE
seq_buf_printf(&s, "%s_%s", dir, type);
if (chan->indexed) {
seq_buf_printf(&s, "%d", chan->channel);
if (chan->differential)
seq_buf_printf(&s, "-%s%d", type,
chan->channel2);
} else if (chan->differential) {
dev_err(dev, "Differential channels must be indexed\n");
return -EINVAL;
}
