HI Jonathan

Thanks for your review. I will make the changes and send it back to
you after testing it on Monday on real hardware.

Until then I have pushed my changes to
https://github.com/ribalda/linux/tree/ribalda-iio-v3 in case you want
to see it before I send it to the list.
(I am still missing the dt-bindings)

Some comments inline.

Best regards!

I am probing the gpio with devm_gpiod_get_optional() so the driver can
load without the pin

I tried using IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL, with val = 1 and val2=1000000, and
it only returned -EINVAL.
Then I discovered the PLUS_MICRO and I want to remember that cating
the range sysfs file returned:
0,000001, but I will try again on Monday.
