Ok, I'm bored of this particular one coming up. When you have
worked out what is going on Himanshi, would you mind putting
together a patch adding a comment describing why it is a bad
idea to 'fix' this?  That would be a very useful patch as
far as I'm concerned :)

There aren't that many cases of this in IIO so adding a comment
on each of them is probably reasonable just to avoid wasting
people's time on fixing them! (I think we have had more than
5 such goes this year so far...)
