[PATCH v7 1/5] iio: core: Add optional symbolic label to a device channel

From: Cristian Pop
Date: Mon Nov 02 2020 - 09:13:47 EST


If a label is defined in the device tree for this channel add that
to the channel specific attributes. This is useful for userspace to
be able to identify an individual channel.
