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...
