Sashiko AI reviewing is now running on anything that hits linux-iio@vger.kernel.org

I'm slowly getting into the habit of checking out what it finds though
I'm 500+ emails behind so it might not be that thorough today :*

Anyhow, it caught an easy one here.

This file is referenced from Documentation/misc-devices/index.rst
so that needs an update as well.

There is the obvious point of ABI compatibility raised as well, but given
we don't seem to be getting much push back on that maybe that's not a significant
concern.
