Hi Dmitri,
I'm not sure you replied to the question in previous review of what
sysfs files exist for this device. Whilst I am at least a little
open to changing the ABI, I'd like to fully understand what
is currently presented and why iio_info is having trouble with it.
I also want an ack from Andrew on this one given might break it existing
usage.
The current interface is perhaps less than ideal, but I don't think it
is wrong as such. Whilst I wasn't particularly keen on the cold junction
== ambient I'm not sure moving to just indexed is an improvement.
Hence looking for input from Andrew. +CC Nuno as someone who is both
active in IIO and has written thermocouple front end drivers in
the past.
