Hello Peter,

Thank you for the review.

Thx, will replace in the next try.

Support hi-8435/36/37 chips in linux kernel via IIO subsystem with use 
of iio-buffer and triggered-buffer features.

Thanks, I will add this in the next try.

Ok, I will name the driver as hi8435_adc/HI8435_ADC in the next try.

sure, as mentioned above I will also use hi8435_adc name and rename all 
functions appropriately with this prefix.

Actually I've tested it with little-endian CPU.
I will replace it with  be16_to_cpup in the next try and the same for 
swab32p -> be32_to_cpup.

This is discrete ADC, only 2 possible results: 0 or 1.
