To better facilitate user-mode access to optional aux channels, allow
device trees to specify a custom extended name for defined channels.

Hi,

'extend-name' is kind of a IIO specific term. I think a better name in the devicetree context would be 'label'. That's used everywhere else when giving a short description string to a node.

Hi Lars,

What do you think of the general idea?  I'm unconvinced we want to do this in channel naming.
Perhaps we want an additional attribute giving access to this sort of 'semantic' information?
