This API got changed a while ago in upstream, see
https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/linux/commit/b9762bebc6332b40c33e03dea03e30fa12d9e3ed

drvdata is never accessed, no need to set it.

I know ADI likes to do this in its non upstream drivers, but the above
is not IIO ABI compliant. The name is supposed to identify the type of
the device, which means for this driver should be static "hmc425a".
Maybe consider adding a field to the hmc425a_chip_info for this.
