All other function comments lack the colon after that Note, so I was just
following that lead. I suggest that this can be fixed up later with one
patch for all comments, if needed?

> why is there no val2 here?

Everything else in inkern.c that handles the raw channel assumes it
is of type IIO_VAL_INT. Again, just following the lead.

Maximum possible, that's what the available attribute is all
about; possible values. How about:

 * iio_read_max_channel_raw() - read maximum available raw value from a given
 *				channel, i.e. the maximum possible value.

Same raw channel assumption about IIO_VAL_INT.

Same as in the iio_channel_has_info function right above which has
the same kind of explanation. Again, just following the lead.

I'll fix that.

Sigh, I guess there's enough small changes that I'll need to do a v4.
I'll hold off on that for a couple of days though since there is
nothing badly wrong...

Cheers,
Peter
