[PATCH v2 3/5] iio: buffer: cache timestamp offset in scan buffer
From: David Lechner
Date: Sat Mar 07 2026 - 20:45:42 EST
Cache the offset (in bytes) for the timestamp element in a scan buffer.
This will be used later to ensure proper alignment of the timestamp
element in the scan buffer.
The new field could not be placed in struct iio_dev_opaque because we
will need to access it in a static inline function later, so we make it
__private instead. It is only intended to be used by core IIO code.
Signed-off-by: David Lechner <dlechner@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

v2 changes:
* Cache the timestamp offset instead of the largest scan element size.
