Hello Jonathan,

no problem for me, you can move it wherever you see fit.

Thank you.
JB

Hi Jean-Baptiste. 

This is causing us some issues as the ABI docs are now added to the
generated html docs for the kernel.  It's been a while, so I've kind
of forgotten why we have this file.  Was the issue that these are
in SI units as opposed to most calibbias controls which are offsets
applied to the raw analog reading hitting the ADC?

Would you mind if we moved this into the main doc as a note for this
particular device?

i.e. something in sysfs-bus-iio saying

icm42600: Hardware applied calibration offset is in SI units (rad/s or m/s^2 as appropriate)

?

Thanks,

Jonathan
