Please help out to get this right, I think this could be confusing
to users unless documented properly. I think the doc has some rough
edges since I'm not the smartest in physics nor english at all times.

Note that there is rather more substantial documentation in the
sysfs abi docs.

Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio

Yes I used that actually, for the magnetometer example.

Thanks anyways!

That's not to say we shouldn't have better docs for the
binding, but rather that we should make sure they agree ;)

Yes, this is mainly for establishing terminology, as the DT bindings
are (in theory, mind you) a standards document used by other
operating systems as well.

There are some problems with the Linux implementation,
primarily that it is "opt-in per driver" and I think it would make
sense to try to enable it by default for any 3-axis 3D things
and move all code to a central spot, if possible. I also think
we should patch generic_buffer to make use of the mount
matrix if it finds one. (I know, talk is cheap, show me the
code, it's all on my TODO list.)
