Using git bisect, I found that this patch breaks the CONFIG_AXP20X_ADC
option which is used by some of the battery and charger drivers for the
axp20x PMIC series. My current assumption is that the
devm_iio_channel_get() call made by these drivers worked correctly
previously when the PLATFORM_DEVID_NONE, but now it's not working
anymore. I'm still testing possible solutions for that problem.

Thank you,
