This is ABI docs, so I'd normally expect them in
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio-accel-adxl372
rather than as part of the main docs.

I can kind of see why you want to take advantage of more free form
docs, but I'd definitely want to see them in the ABI docs first.
Once that is done, then we can see if there is anything left that
needs to be documented like you have here.

Thanks,

Jonathan
