If you want to be able change the MSEL setting easily, would it be ok to connect the MSEL pins via 10 kohm pulldowns to GND, and to use jumpers to VCCA? The 10 kohm pulldowns would be in parallel with the internal 5 kohm pulldowns (mentioned above by JacoL) just to make sure. The get a high level on the MSEL pin(s), close the jumper(s) to VCCA.

Where in the official documentation does it say that there are 5 kohm internal pulldowns?

I searched for MSEL in the data sheet, but I couldn't find it.
