[v7 14/14] docs: iio: add documentation for BNO055 driver

[andrea.merello]

From: Andrea Merello <andrea.merello@xxxxxx>

The bno055 driver is rather complex and have some oddities and not-obvious
things that worth to document (e.g. calibration files).

This patch also contains this [0] fix squashed in.

+==============================
+BNO055 driver
+==============================
+
+1. Overview
+===========
+
+This driver supports Bosch BNO055 IMUs (on both serial and I2C busses).
+
+Accelerometer, magnetometer and gyroscope measures are always provided.
+When "fusion_enable" sysfs attribute is set to 1, orientation (both Euler
+angles and quaternion), linear velocity and gravity vector are also
+provided, but some sensor settings (e.g. low pass filtering and range)
+became locked (the IMU firmware controls them).
+
+This driver supports also IIO buffers.
+
+2. Calibration
+==============
+
+The IMU continuously performs an autocalibration procedure if (and only if)
+operating in fusion mode. The magnetometer autocalibration can however be
+disabled writing 0 in the sysfs in_magn_calibration_fast_enable attribute.
+
+The driver provides access to autocalibration flags (i.e. you can known if
+the IMU has successfully autocalibrated) and to the calibration data blob.
+
+The user can save this blob in a firmware file (i.e. in /lib/firmware) that
+the driver looks for at probe time. If found, then the IMU is initialized
+with this calibration data. This saves the user from performing the
+calibration procedure every time (which consist of moving the IMU in
+various way).
+
+The driver looks for calibration data file using two different names: first
+a file whose name is suffixed with the IMU unique ID (exposed in sysfs as
+serial_number) is searched for; this is useful when there is more than one
+IMU instance. If this file is not found, then a "generic" calibration file
+is searched for (which can be used when only one IMU is present, without
+struggling with fancy names, that change on each device).
+
+Valid calibration file names would be e.g.
+ bno055-caldata-0e7c26a33541515120204a35342b04ff.dat
+ bno055-caldata.dat
+
+In non-fusion mode the IIO 'offset' attributes provide access to the
+offsets from calibration data (if any), so that the user can apply them to
+the accel, angvel and magn IIO attributes. In fusion mode they are not
+needed (the IMU firmware internally applies those corrections) and they
+read as zero.
