It gets tricky as we gain more and more devices.  Nice to have that data somewhere, but
maybe a device specific document is more appropriate than keeping it in here?
(i.e. not in the ABI docs, but in general IIO per device documentation similar to the
 docs added recently for various other ADI parts).
