Subject: [PATCH v4] dt-bindings: iio: afe: voltage-divider: Add io-channel-cells

Enable the voltage divider to both receive and provide measurement
services by adding #io-channel-cells.

This is especially valuable in scenarios where an ADC has an analog
frontend, like a voltage divider, and obtaining its raw value isn't
interesting. It is desired to get the real voltage before the voltage
divider.
