An excellent point.  First fix for V2 ;)

It is in drivers/staging/iio/  I haven't lifted most of it over yet.

Sadly some of it is somewhat bit rotted. Best bet is to read
sysfs-bus-iio to see sysfs interface and we do have an example driver
but it's not quite merged yet (working its way to staging-next).
So see

https://github.com/jic23/linux-iio/blob/master/drivers/staging/iio/iio_simple_dummy.c

As someone new to IIO I'd particularly like to hear you
opinions on whether the dummy driver helped you to figure
out what is going on.   Any other comments of course would
be most welcome.

Perhaps I'll pull the dummy driver into V2 of this patch set.

Thanks,

Jonathan
