If there isn't a strong opinion to add the
__iio_add_chan_devattr_with_buf() version + macro/inline magic, I'd
probably not do it.
In terms of patch-noise, it's not considerably better, and not
necessarily worse.

When I was thinking about the re-think of __iio_add_chan_devattr, I
was thinking of a way to maybe re-architect this.
Maybe, add some {device_}attribute that act as template [at least for
the R/W functions].
This definitely needs some thinking to make it clean and nice.
