[PATCH 2/2] iio: ina2xx: provide a sysfs parameter to allow async readout of the ADCs

[Marc Titinger]

This can lead to repeated or skipped samples depending on the clock beat
between the capture thread and the chip sampling clock, but will also spare
reading/waiting for the Capture Ready Flag and improve the available i2c
bandwidth for reading measurements.

Output of iio_info:
...snip...
4 device-specific attributes found:
  attr 0: in_oversampling_ratio value: 4
  attr 1: in_allow_async_readout value: 0
  attr 2: integration_time_available value: 140 204 332 588 1100 2116 4156 8244
  attr 3: in_sampling_frequency value: 114
