I've not personally looked at that particular chip.  Recently
Analog Devices have been doing a lot of work on driver support
for their own chips.  For now most of this work has been going on in
the blackfin repositories.

http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/linux-kernel/scmsvn/?action=browse&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fdrivers%2Fstaging%2Fiio%2F

Doesn't look like they have looked at that particular chip as yet though.

I've also cc'd the linux-iio mailing list as anyone working on such
a driver is probably subscribed. (for others I'm just waiting on 
an archive being set up for that list before doing a formal announcement).

We will certainly be happy to assist.  The best bet is to look at existing
drivers and make sure you fully understand what they are up to.  Then it
is usually mostly a case of cut and paste!
