Since there is still no Dmitry's feedback please take a look to the
ti,ads7843 datasheet:
https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/ads7843.pdf

On the page 1 you can see, that this device has two general purpose ADC
inputs IN3, IN4. If some one will decide to mainline support for this
pins, will end with IIO ADC driver any way :)
