Unfortunately the context has changed a lot due to your earlier patch:

iio: st_sensors: simplify buffer address handling
which is in the togreg branch this is based on, but hasn't yet hit
mainline.  Looking at dates it must have 'just missed' the last merge
window.

Given how different they are I think we are going to have to do different
patches for current tree and a backported one.

So I'll pick this up in the togreg branch so we can move forward with
that but can you roll one against current mainline as well.

Thanks,

Jonathan
