I'm rather undecided on whether a generic catch all for sensor types here makes
sense. Given we aren't currently applying it to too many devices, I think
I'd prefer we documented this for the particular entries we are adding as
that is the approach that we've taken for the majority of the rest of the
main ABI doc.   Note that tidying this doc up has been something I've wanted
to look at doing for a while, so it's possible I'll revisit this decision
at that time.

Otherwise, this looks good.

Thanks,

Jonathan
