I don't see that default in the binding doc and relying in the 0 being clamped
isn't particularly readable - I'd set it explicitly.

smashing. (this definitely wasn't my best effort at English!)

Understood. I'm fine with just the refactor you are doing brought out as a precursor
patch.

Is there any risk anyone was using the canonical path to get to the iio dev?
/sys/bus/platform/devices/..../iio\:deviceX
This is technically an ABI change be it a subtle one.

As above, I'd prefer it set explicitly.
