If this only affects the filter, I would suggest to add `filter_` to the
beginning of the attribute names.

Also, an explanation of how to interpret the numbers would be helpful. It looks
like a unitless number that acts a sort of a multiplier or divider, but that
part isn't so clear to me. 

Or...

Since the decimation rate affects the -3dB point of the filters we could use
the standard IIO_CHAN_INFO_LOW_PASS_FILTER_3DB_FREQUENCY instead of introducing
a new attribute.
