-io-channel-ranges:

-For example:
-
-	device {

-		io-channel-names = "vcc", "vdd";

-
-This represents a device with two IIO inputs, named "vcc" and "vdd".
-The vcc channel is connected to output 1 of the &adc device, and the
-vdd channel is connected to output 0 of the &ref device.

+description:
+  This binding describes generic properties a consumer of the channels
+  provided by an IIO device may use.
+
+  As well, direct readings of channels on an IIO Device, an IIO device
+  can provide services to consumer devices. Thes are in the form of
+  channel readings and properties.  For example, an ADC might provide
+  3 channels to an analog accelerometer so that an accelerometer
+  driver can use them to read the voltages that correspond to the
+  accelerations on the 3 axis and apply appropriate calibration to
+  provide useful outputs.
