+Description:

+               May be provided by a device driver that also has an IIO device
+               based on hardware generated events (e.g. data ready) or
+               provided by a separate driver for other hardware (e.g.
+               periodic timer, GPIO or high resolution timer).
+               Contains trigger type specific elements. These do not

+Contact:       linux-iio@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+               Some devices have internal clocks.  This parameter sets the
+               resulting sampling frequency.  In many devices this
+               parameter has an effect on input filters etc rather than
+               simply controlling when the input is sampled.  As this
+               effects datardy triggers, hardware buffers and the sysfs
+               direct access interfaces, it may be found in any of the
+               relevant directories.  If it effects all of the above
+               then it is to be found in the base device directory as here.

+Description:
+               Description of the scan element data storage within the buffer
+               and hence the form in which it is read from user-space.
+               Form is [s|u]bits/storagebits[>>shift].  s or u specifies if
+               signed (2's complement) or unsigned. bits is the number of bits
+               of data and storagebits is the space (after padding) that it
+               occupies in the buffer. shift if specified, is the shift that
+               needs to be applied prior to masking out unused bits. Some
+               devices put their data in the middle of the transferred elements
+               with additional information on both sides.  Note that some
+               devices will have additional information in the unused bits
+               so to get a clean value, the bits value must be used to mask
+               the buffer output value appropriately.  The storagebits value
+               also specifies the data alignment.  So s48/64>>2 will be a
+               signed 48 bit integer stored in a 64 bit location aligned to
+               a a64 bit boundary. To obtain the clean value, shift right 2
+               and apply a mask to zero the top 16 bits of the result.
+               For other storage combinations this attribute will be extended
+               appropriately.
