Hi Samuel,

Some comments inline. Note this is a driver by review so not very
thorough!

Feels like this summing should be a userspace problem.
Knowing about slice imbalance is often useful (depending on the
micro architecture obviously!)

fwnode_get_available_child_count(dev_fwnode(&pdev->dev));

Not sure why there isn't yet a device version of this (IIRC anyway).

device_for_each_child_node() (generic handlers only provide the available version btw
which is non obvious from naming)

Leaked slice_node

FWIW https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/20240217164249.921878-1-jic23@kernel.org/
adds device_for_each_child_node_scoped() which deals with this stuff using
cleanup.h magic.

Not sure on what perf maintainers want, but I'd go with
device_property_read etc as in the previous driver.

Comments from other review apply here as well so if you agree apply them in both drivers.
