Subject: [RFC PATCH 5/8] iio: core: Introduce ENABLE channel info mask

From: Irina Tirdea <irina.tirdea@...el.com>

This change is needed for the step counter functionality of a pedometer.
The step counter needs to be enabled and then it will count the steps
in its hardware register. Whenever the applications need to check
the step count, they will read the step counter register.

Since the pedometer needs to be enabled once so that the hardware
can count and store the steps, we need a specific enable attribute.

For more information on the pedometer requirements for Android see
http://source.android.com/devices/sensors/composite_sensors.html#counter.

A device that has the pedometer functionality this interface needs to
support is Freescale's MMA9553L:
