The AD4170 design has features to aid interfacing with weigh scale and RTD
sensors that are expected to be setup with external circuitry for proper
sensor operation. A key characteristic of those sensors is that the circuit
they are in must be excited with a pair of signals. The external circuit
can be excited either by voltage supply or by AD4170 excitation signals.
The sensor can then be read through a different pair of lines that are
connected to AD4170 ADC.

Configure AD4170 to handle external circuit sensors.

Change log v3 -> v4
- Update to string adi,sensor-type dt property.
- Adapted external sensor dt prop parsing to work with the updated version of those props.

Is the local variable useful?  
		ret = ad4170_validate_excitation_pin(st, exc_pins[i]);
seems equally readable.

Why the change of type?

Can we do it in the patch that introduced the code rather than moving it here?
