Hi Hugo,

Welcome to IIO.

I don't really mind this, but given they have different part numbers
and the similarly named TI part could just have easily been SPI
I'm not sure the clarification is really useful.

Also, under all the circumstances I can think of, if you can see the
help text you can also see the SPI dependence clearly listed.

Hence I think is just noise, though I'm guessing it reflects a
confusion you ran into!

Jonathan
