An irq_work is a very heavy weight solution.

Perhaps we need a iio_trigger_poll* that can be called from a tasklet?
Or indeed a generic irq function that can be.

Hmm.  This isn't actually a 'real' trigger (I think) anyway as it's
only ever calling it's own irq thread.  In this case we could just
bypass and call that function directly.

Sometimes the trigger infrastructure of IIO is just not suited to
how a particular device works!

We need to maintain the trigger infrastructure for it's ability to
select the trigger, but not necessarily push the data through it.

So I think it would be safe to just call the block for dma_chan
being set in _adc_trigger_handler directly. 

If you take this approach, make sure there are comments saying why.
I don't want people to cut and paste it into new driver unless they
understand the reasoning!

We have had drivers do this in the past, though I can't find one
right now (am335x used to do this for example, but got reworked
to suport the touchscreen at the same time and this path went
away).
