This is similar to the {devm_}iio_triggered_buffer_setup_ext variants added
via commit 5164c7889857 ("iio: triggered-buffer: add
{devm_}iio_triggered_buffer_setup_ext variants").
These can be used to pass extra buffer attributes to the buffer object.
This is a bit of temporary mechanism (hopefully) so that drivers that want
to allocate a kfifo buffer with extra buffer attributes, don't need to
include 'buffer_impl.h' directly. This can also become an API function (in
it's own right, unfortunately), but it may be a little less bad vs drivers
having to include 'buffer_impl.h'.
So, far the drivers that want to pass buffer attributes, all have to do
with some HW FIFO attributes, so there may be a chance of unifying them
into IIO core somehow (as some standard API). But, until that happens, we
just need to let them register their HW FIFO attributes directly (without
having to let them include 'buffer_impl.h' directly).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
