We forgot to also update Documentation/iio/ad7380.rst. We can follow up
with a separate patch later though.

Not sure if this is worth troubling with, but it might make more sense to make
IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ info_mask_separate instead of info_mask_shared_by_type,
at least in the case of the single-ended chips.

This family of chips does simultaneous conversions so shared_by_type (or shared_by_all)
would typically be the right thing to do here. However, the single-ended versions
of these chips also have a multiplexer, so there are 2 banks of simultaneously
sampled inputs. So the effective sample rate as far as IIO is concerned would
actually be 1/2 of the sampling_frequency attribute value.

Since we have a channel mask restriction where we force all channels in a bank
to be enabled at once, I think it would work to make IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ
info_mask_separate where the reported sampling frequency is the conversion rate
divided by the number of channels in a bank.
