Hi Lorenzo,

Thanks for reviewing this!

Regarding the TODR and ODR_T_BATCH settings:

I didn't see a way to configure the batch data rate in the IIO driver
aside from the "odr_avl" table.

It seemed useful to allow reading the gyro/accel at a high rate, such as
416 Hz, while still allowing the lower temperature sub-sampling rates of
1.6 and 12.5 Hz. My original intent in adding the lower ODR table
entries here was to reuse the sampling_frequency sysfs attr to
configure the batch data rate, since that seems to be what most people
would care about.

Alternately, we could add a separate "odr_batch_avl" table along with a
separate sysfs attr (e.g. "buffer_sampling_frequency"). That would be a
lot more work though, especially since the actual ODR for the temp
sensor won't be configurable anyway.

Note, I don't have any specific need for the lower rates, so if 52 Hz is
the only rate supported, that still "works for me".
