OK this is better in my opinion, at least it is a lesser evil than
the hacks I've seen.

Again add some comments to the code describing what this is
about please. A general purpose input that can be configured
such that it is not a general purpose input anymore, but instead
looped back internally to control a voltage on the DA9062.

Part of me wonder if these lines are really "general purpose"
but I suppose software could use them.
