Hello Jonathan,

the "why" seems to be a misunderstanding on my side. I had the impression that is it a
good practice (even expected) that each driver also has a documentation (as I see a much
higher driver doc coverage in hwmon subsystem for example). When I have send a patch for
this driver adding label support I observed that it has no documentation.
Now is clear that this is no the case (at least for IIO subsystem), so please ignore
this patch. Sorry for the noise.

Best regards,
Flaviu
