I would be tempted to add filter_type{,_available} attributes to the ad4130
driver that mirrors the existing filter_mode{,_available} attributes. We can't
remove filter_mode since that would break things, but having filter_type in
addition to that would mean than userspace tools could standardize on
filter_type and not have to make a special exception for the different naming
on ad4130.
Then we wouldn't need to delete the extra items here and we wouldn't have to
repeat the docs for sysfs-bus-iio-adc-ad4130. Those docs can just have the
deprecation paragraph and mention that it returns values identical to the
filter_type attributes for backwards compatibility.
