Values in the iio_chan_info_enum are crucial for understanding the
characteristics of an IIO channel and the data delivered via IIO channel.
Give a hand to developers who do their first set of IIO drivers.

Add some documentation to these channel specifiers.

Please note that I did only add documentation for entries I am familiar
with. I did still add doc placeholders for all of the enum entries to
ease seeing which entries could still be documented. Hopefully this
encourages people to add missing pieces of documentation.

 be

+ *
+ * @IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW:		Raw channel data as provided by device. Scale

+ * @IIO_CHAN_INFO_PROCESSED:	Processed data. Typically driver performs
+ *				computations to convert device data to more
+ *				meaningfull processed values.
+ * @IIO_CHAN_INFO_SCALE:	Scale to be applied to data in order to convert
+ *				it to units mandated by the channel type.
+ * @IIO_CHAN_INFO_OFFSET:	Offset to be applied to data in order to convert
+ *				it to units mandated by the channel type.
+ * @IIO_CHAN_INFO_CALIBSCALE:
+ * @IIO_CHAN_INFO_CALIBBIAS:
+ * @IIO_CHAN_INFO_PEAK:		Peak value (TODO: Since measurement start?)
+ * @IIO_CHAN_INFO_PEAK_SCALE:	Scale to be applied to the peak value in ord=
er
+ *				to convert it to units mandated by the channel
+ *				type.
+ * @IIO_CHAN_INFO_QUADRATURE_CORRECTION_RAW:
+ * @IIO_CHAN_INFO_AVERAGE_RAW:	Average of raw values (TODO: Since measurem=
ent
+ *				start or just for some undefined time?)
+ * @IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ:	Sampling frequency for device.
+ * @IIO_CHAN_INFO_FREQUENCY:
