Documentation: iio: Clarify meaning of IIO_DISTANCE channel type
IIO_DISTANCE is used for two purposes: for pedometers to record the distance covered by a walker, and to measure the distance to an object IIO_DISTANCE is in meters while IIO_PROXIMITY is a unitless measure indirectly proportional to distance (higher value relates to a closer object) Signed-off-by: Peter Meerwald-Stadler <pmeerw@pmeerw.net> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com>
