Applied to the fixes-togreg branch of iio.git though I'll not push
that out until rc1 is out in a few days time and I can rebase appropriately.

Thinking on the cause of this problem it seems like we should really be setting
the indio_dev->dev.of_node in iio_device_alloc() and then let a driver
override it if desired rather than this approach of fill it in if not set.
Such a change only affects a few drivers based on a dumb bit of grepping.
I'd treat such a change as a cleanup though, so having this fix in place
makes sense anyway.
