So Jonathan what do you say, should we simply merge this patch?

It will be two drivers in the kernel for the same hardware but one
of them is modern and uses IIO.

The misc driver maintainers doesn't seem to be moving anywhere
near IIO on its own whereas this patch establishes a base for
moving features over to generic IIO whenever someone finds the
time.
