In many cases the hardware can offer more channels than what the user is interested in obtaining. In such cases it may be preferred that only subset of channels are enabled, and driver reads only a subset of the channels from the hardware. Some devices can't support all channel combinations. For example the BM1390 pressure sensor must always read the pressure data in order to acknowledge the watermark IRQ, while reading temperature can be omitted. So, the available scan mask would be 'pressure and temperature' and 'pressure only'. When IIO seatchs for the scan mask it asks the driver to use, it will pick the first suitable one from the 'available_scan_mask' array. Hence, ordering the masks in the array makes difference. We should 'prefer' reading just the pressure from the hardware (as it is cheaper operation than reading both pressure and temperature) over reading both pressure and temperature. Hence, we should set the 'only pressure' as first scan mask in available_scan_mask array. If we set the 'pressure and temperature' as first in array, then the 'only temperature' will never get used as 'pressure and temperature' can always serve the user's needs. Add (minimal) kerneldoc to the 'available_scan_mask' to hint the user that ordering of masks matters.
