Hi Daniel,

This is a good start.  Might as well get it merged and keep improving it.

Here are a few nits:

Warning(..//drivers/iio/industrialio-buffer.c:1145): cannot understand function prototype: 'struct iio_demux_table '

>> drop the "()" in the first line:
 * struct iio_demux_table() - table describing demux memcpy ops


In iio_buffer_get() and iio_buffer_put(), change "may be NULL"
to "may be %NULL".

In linux/iio/iio.h, struct iio_chan_spec, the sub-fields of @scan_type confuse
scripts/kernel-doc.  There isn't really a good way to do what you are trying
to do (AFAIK).  The problem is that things like "realbits:" (ending with a colon)
cause kernel-doc to think that that is some special comment and it generates
a separate paragraph for it at the end of the struct.  I changed all of those
colons to hyphens, but then kernel-doc just runs all of those sub-field
comment descriptions together... so I added a ';' at the end of each one, but
it doesn't look nice.
