Reformat text like:

- xadc_device_setup():
  handles IIO device allocation and basic setup

- xadc_device_configure():
  handles device tree parsing and bipolar mask configuration

TBH without seeing the rest, this patch looks like an unneeded churn.

This is a dead code as it seems that ops is mandatory. So in case if it's
missed it will mean that the contribution was never ever being tested.
If it's tested, the check above is a dead code and hence no need to put
it here.

Why is 'i' signed? Also see below.

The iterator is not used outside the loop, hence

	for (unsigned int i = 0; i < indio_dev->num_channels; i++) {

will be good choice.
