No response from Jonathan as yet, but I am willing to rework the driver when I
have some time. It might be weeks before I can start, though.

I am not very familiar with the iio subsystem, (actually had never heard of it before
receiving your response). Learning it might be beneficial, as it looks like a good fit
for an in house driver, which I'd like to eventually upstream.

If an hwmon driver is adequate, I have new patches that address kbuild and endianness
issues in the first version.
