Agreed.

The double '' is intentional; this mux is 8-way but only 6 legs are
connected, with the first two unused. I don't know how or where to make
changes to dodge the warning. I don't want to put names on things that
do not exist, and the iio-mux driver is using empty names as a hint to
not configure any child channel for those indices that have empty names.
If e.g. channels 0-5 are in use, then this is not a problem since you
can just end early with 6 names instead of 8, but alas, channels 2-7
was what the hw-crowd fancied in this case.

Cheers,
