+ * Framework to handle complex IIO aggregate devices
+ *
+ * A note on some of the design expectations with regards to lifetimes and
+ * devices bringup/removal.
+ *
+ * The Framework is using, under the wood, the component API which makes it to
+ * easy treat a bunch of devices as one aggregate device. This means that the
+ * complete thing is only brought to live when all the deviced are probed. To do
+ * this, two callbacks are used that should in fact completely replace .probe()
+ * and .remove(). The formers should only be used the minimum needed. Ideally,
+ * only to call the functions to add and remove frontend annd backend devices.
+ *
+ * It is advised for frontend and backend drivers to use their .remove()
+ * callbacks (to use devres API during the frontend and backends initialization).
+ * See the comment in @converter_frontend_bind().
+ *
+ * It is also assumed that converter objects cannot be accessed once one of the
+ * devices of the aggregate device is removed (effectively bringing the all the
+ * devices down). Based on that assumption, these objects are not refcount which
+ * means accessing them will likely fail miserably.
