[PATCH v4 2/9] iio: Add channel for Position Relative

[Eugen Hristev]

Add new channel type for relative position on a pad.

These type of analog sensor offers the position of a pen
on a touchpad, and is represented as a voltage, which can be
converted to a position on X and Y axis on the pad.
The channel will hand the relative position on the pad in both directions.

The channel can then be consumed by a touchscreen driver or
read as-is for a raw indication of the touchpen on a touchpad.

Changes in v2:
 - modified channel name to relative position as suggested.
 - modified kernel version to 4.18 (presumable)
