Ah. This doesn't pick up all the places I was expecting when reviewing
previous patch.  It should definitely include the dev_err_probe()
for iio_device_register() - that won't be change just because
you move to devm_iio_device_register() in the next patch.

Leave the switch from client->dev for this patch then we don't end up changing
same line twice.  Just add a brief comment to say you are taking advantage
of the now available local dev pointer.
