This makes the axp20x_adc driver probe with platform device id
"axp813-adc".

Any particular reason you're not adding it to the DT?
 
No, no particular reason. It's just the way it is currently for AXP209
and AXP22x so did the same for AXP813.

I'll add DT "support" in next version for all AXPs supported by this
driver. Or is it worthy of a small separate patch series?  
IIRC there's no DT support because there's no need to reference
it in the device tree.
 
No current need but that does not mean there won't be a need later for
drivers to map IIO channels from the ADC driver (i.e. some components
wired to GPIOs of the PMIC for example).  
Hmm... Why would you map the IIO channels from the ADC? I thought those
were all accessible from userspace?
There is a reasonably fully featured consumer interface for IIO channels
as well. Here it's being used internal to the hardware, but yes if
you want to do the mappings to other devices, it will need to 'exist'
in the device tree.

I'm guessing that you have something in mind that needs this.  If not I'd
leave it until there is a real user.
However, proper muxing of the GPIO pin to the ADC function makes sense.
Agreed.
