Only thing in here I wondered about is talking about what libiio supports.
That is likely to change if we get lots of devices with the sort of resolution
changing that occurs with this one.  Ah well, I guess we will probably get
stale docs if no one is paying attention.   That happens anyway for so
many other reasons I'm not that worried about one more.

Applied to the testing branch of iio.git for now as I'll be rebasing on rc1
once available.

Thanks,

Jonathan
