I'm happy to see this go in general, but would like it to sit on the list for
a little while just in case anyone has a different opinion.

The ABI has been marked as deprecated for a while, but who knows if users
noticed that.  Fingers crossed no one notices us removing it.

It think it would also be good to note we still have one user of this ABI
in iio/triggers/stm32-timer-trigger.c
Hence we may want to introduce specific docs for that one case or try
to figure out a clean way to get rid of it...
