Before sending the patch, I would like to confirm if it is acceptable to just
document the intended default value within the description, since adding a default
value directly to the schema causes validation error and considering adding the logic,

     - if:
         not:
           properties:
             adi,manual-span-operation-config:
               const: 7
         then:
           patternProperties:
             "^channel@[0-3]$":
               properties:
                 output-range-microvolt: false
