Hi Olivier,

We do already have devm_iio_backend_enable(). From a correctness stand point and even
scalability, that API should now call your new iio_backend_enable() instead of
directly call iio_backend_op_call(). I guess that change could be in this patch.

We also have __iio_backend_disable() which is static since all users were using
devm_iio_backend_enable(). I understand that's not suitable for you but I would
instead rename the existing function to iio_backend_disable() and export it.

With the above changes:
