Some ADC devices allow averaging/downsampling. The minimal parameter
set for this will be the number of taps used for computing a mean value.

In some cases the ratio will hold discrete values for instance "1, 4, 16"
hence an averaging_ratio_available property is useful. The possible ratio
values are less likely to changing with the device settings, so this
patch
only provides a CONST version of the definition helper.

Tested with ina226:

# ls /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device0/
averaging_ratio_available     in_voltage0_raw
dev                           in_voltage1_raw
in_averaging_ratio            name
in_calibscale                 power
in_current2_raw               sampling_frequency_available
in_power3_raw                 subsystem
in_sampling_frequency         uevent

# cat averaging_ratio_available
1, 4, 16, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024

Having just noted the previous element we added was oversampling_ratio,
in a sense they are somewhat similar.

To play Devil's advocate...
Could we in theory just use that as it is existing ABI?

oversampling_ratio was introduced for the bmc150.
That particular part doesn't have the worlds clearest datasheet
but it seems like it's effectively specifying how many repeat measurements
to average.

I'm afraid I'd completely forgotten about this or
I would have mentioned it earlier!

I saw that oversampling setting, but I my memories, oversampling was sometimes related to increasing the samplerate, i.e creating more samples possibly through interpolation, in order to allow for filtering.

If there is a consensus about this being ok to mean 'averaging' I'm happy to use this ABI!
