IIO Dummy Example/Testing Driver

A reference and testing scaffold inside the Industrial I/O subsystem that pretends to be a sensor without any real hardware behind it. It exists so kernel developers can experiment with the IIO framework and so new sensor drivers have a worked example to learn from.

recommendation

This is not actually a driver for any real device; it is a developer-facing example and test harness for the Industrial I/O subsystem. It produces fake sensor data so people writing or testing IIO code have something to work against, and it should be evaluated as documentation/test infrastructure rather than as hardware support.
