[PATCH] iio: add a TODO

[PATCH] iio: add a TODO

[Rohit Sarkar]

This patch adds a TODO file with some work items added with reference to
the conversation in [1].
A TODO file is immensely useful while onboarding new contributors who
are looking for some low hanging fruit to get their foot into the door.
Since these items affect all drivers the file has been placed in the
root iio directory instead of augmenting the staging TODO.

Thanks,
Rohit

Hmm.  I worry a bit this will rot, but the current items are fairly
generic so fair enough.

Applied to the togreg branch of iio.git with a few tweaks as below

Thanks,

Jonathan

To keep this I'll need an ack from analog.  Not sure they really use
that domain any more!  Probably easier if I just drop it.

People will get hold of me just as quickly (if not quicker) via the
mailing list so I'll drop this.
