 *
 * Channels
 *
 * According to the Analogy nomenclature, the channel is the elementary
 * acquisition entity. One channel is supposed to acquire one data at
 * a time. A channel can be:
 * - an analog input or an analog ouput;
 * - a digital input or a digital ouput;
 *
 * Channels are defined by their type and by some other
 * characteristics like:
 * - their resolutions for analog channels (which usually ranges from
     8 to 32 bits);
 * - their references;
 *
 * Such parameters must be declared for each channel composing a
 * subdevice. The structure a4l_channel (a4l_chan_t) is used to
 * define one channel.
 *
 * Another structure named a4l_channels_desc (a4l_chdesc_t)
 * gathers all channels for a specific subdevice. This latter
 * structure also stores :
 * - the channels count;
 * - the channels declaration mode (A4L_CHAN_GLOBAL_CHANDESC or
     A4L_CHAN_PERCHAN_CHANDESC): if all the channels composing a
     subdevice are identical, there is no need to declare the
     parameters for each channel; the global declaration mode eases
     the structure composition.
 *
 * Usually the channels descriptor looks like this:
 * <tt> @verbatim
a4l_chdesc_t example_chan = {
	mode: A4L_CHAN_GLOBAL_CHANDESC, -> Global declaration
					      mode is set
	length: 8, -> 8 channels
	chans: {
		{A4L_CHAN_AREF_GROUND, 16}, -> Each channel is 16 bits
						  wide with the ground as
						  reference
	},
};
@endverbatim </tt>
 *
 * Ranges
 *
 * So as to perform conversion from logical values acquired by the
 * device to physical units, some range structure(s) must be declared
 * on the driver side.
 *
 * Such structures contain:
 * - the physical unit type (Volt, Ampere, none);
 * - the minimal and maximal values;
 *
 * These range structures must be associated with the channels at
 * subdevice registration time as a channel can work with many
 * ranges. At configuration time (thanks to an Analogy command), one
 * range will be selected for each enabled channel.
 *
 * Consequently, for each channel, the developer must declare all the
 * possible ranges in a structure called a4l_rngtab_t. Here is an
 * example:
 * <tt> @verbatim
a4l_rngtab_t example_tab = {
    length: 2,
    rngs: {
	RANGE_V(-5,5),
	RANGE_V(-10,10),
    },
};
@endverbatim </tt>
 *
 * For each subdevice, a specific structure is designed to gather all
 * the ranges tabs of all the channels. In this structure, called
 * a4l_rngdesc_t, three fields must be filled:
 * - the declaration mode (A4L_RNG_GLOBAL_RNGDESC or
 *   A4L_RNG_PERCHAN_RNGDESC);
 * - the number of ranges tab;
 * - the tab of ranges tabs pointers;
 *
 * Most of the time, the channels which belong to the same subdevice
 * use the same set of ranges. So, there is no need to declare the
 * same ranges for each channel. A macro is defined to prevent
 * redundant declarations: RNG_GLOBAL().
 *
 * Here is an example:
 * <tt> @verbatim
a4l_rngdesc_t example_rng = RNG_GLOBAL(example_tab);
@endverbatim </tt>
