Alexandru Ardelean 15097c7a1a iio: buffer: wrap all buffer attributes into iio_dev_attr
This change wraps all buffer attributes into iio_dev_attr objects, and
assigns a reference to the IIO buffer they belong to.

With the addition of multiple IIO buffers per one IIO device, we need a way
to know which IIO buffer is being enabled/disabled/controlled.

We know that all buffer attributes are device_attributes. So we can wrap
them with a iio_dev_attr types. In the iio_dev_attr type, we can also hold
a reference to an IIO buffer.
So, we end up being able to allocate wrapped attributes for all buffer
attributes (even the one from other drivers).

The neat part with this mechanism, is that we don't need to add any extra
cleanup, because these attributes are being added to a dynamic list that
will get cleaned up via iio_free_chan_devattr_list().

With this change, the 'buffer->scan_el_dev_attr_list' list is being renamed
to 'buffer->buffer_attr_list', effectively merging (or finalizing the
merge) of the buffer/ & scan_elements/ attributes internally.

Accessing these new buffer attributes can now be done via
'to_iio_dev_attr(attr)->buffer' inside the show/store handlers.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
