The path of least resistance (pun intended) would probably be to make
generic-adc-thermal consume an ID channel and accept a number of LUTs..

That sounds sensible since most battery ID mechanisms are probably also
ADC-based and one would hope (tm) that the values output by these ADC channels
would then be distinct enough for the driver to have an easy time confidently
selecting one of the options (or a fallback)

That said, this is just my guesstimates and perhaps the IIO folks could comment
on that
