iio: backend: add debugFs interface
This adds a basic debugfs interface for backends. Two new ops are being added: * debugfs_reg_access: Analogous to the core IIO one but for backend devices. * debugfs_print_chan_status: One useful usecase for this one is for testing test tones in a digital interface and "ask" the backend to dump more details on why a test tone might have errors.

+Description:
+ Directly access the registers of backend Y. Typical usage is:
+
+ Reading address 0x50
+ echo 0x50 > direct_reg_access
+ cat direct_reg_access
+
+ Writing address 0x50
+ echo 0x50 0x3 > direct_reg_access
+ //readback address 0x50
+ cat direct_reg_access
