As this is a one off operation, perhaps it would be better to factor
it out to a utility function then use devm_add_action_or_reset in
the probe?

Also, I am nervous about this change as there doesn't seem to be
path in probe by which this is deliberately reversed?
It seems to be 'accidentally' handled by the read_raw write to the
CFG register.

The data sheet doesn't really mention much about this register
at all. It may have special requirements to exit from power down - I have
no idea, but if it is costless, why do we bother with idle mode?

Perhaps Michael can confirm if this is safe to do or not.

You can't safely do this against the devm_iio_device_register.
