Hi Rodrigo

I was thinking the only thing that was still under possible discussion
was the parsing code and related tests, but given that's been quiet
I took what I was thinking would be the final look at this.

Found a few bits of code that are unnecessarily general.
Other stuff is all trivial.

Anyhow, sashiko is now running on linux-iio so please also take a look
at what it thinks of your v11. It's been finding some subtle bugs but
obviously take into account it might be making things up ;)

Thanks,

Jonathan

Maybe
	for (int i = ..
given that's now considered fine in kernel code.
You could reduce the scope of d32 and ret but that doesn't bring much advantage here.

See below for this value getting switched at caller.

Why eat value of ret?  If that does make sense add a comment so
this doesn't get 'cleaned up' in future.

I can sort of see it making sense as all this is a case of all
sorts of different cases failed rather than just this last one.

Silly question. How do we get a different value of this?

I'm going to guess this is either a code evolution thing where
we have reached a silly state, or you have other code that goes
on top of this series that needs this.  If it's the 'more code'
case then do a refactor at start of that series and keep this simple for now.

Similar applies for the resolution functions.

Really trivial but I'd prefer.

		if (ret)
			return ret;

		break;

Then unconditionally return len below.  Tends to make things a bit
simpler to read if we get more elements in the switch in the longer term
as no need to go look for what happens in the error path.

IF these only occur once - which I think is the case, drop the macros.
