Not sure why you are wrapping at 55 chars. I rewrapped this whilst applying.

Reworded it a little too as I was touching it anyway.

Applied to the fixes-togreg branch of iio.git.

I took a look at this patch and it introduces the issue I just pointed
out in replying to your v1 by dropping the 
/* Make sure the chip is on */
Which was correct even with runtime pm because it covered the case of
runtime_pm being disabled.   We probably need to bring that back as well,
perhaps as part of a cleanup patch taking this fully devm_

This driver has another issue for working if runtime PM isn't built into
the kernel which is that it checks the return of pm_runtime_put_autosuspend()
which calls 

static inline int __pm_runtime_suspend(struct device *dev, int rpmflags)
{
	return -ENOSYS;
}

I've been meaning to do an audit for drivers that have this problem for
a while, but not yet gotten to it.

An ideal IIO driver needs to work correctly whether or not CONFIG_PM is
enabled.
