I'll 'nest' on Peter's review to avoid repetition.

A few additional comments inline.

How can one read by both processed and raw?

There is some debate in another thread on whether dynamic sensitivity can be
mapped to hysteresis or not...

Why return both processed and raw?  We don't generally allow that in IIO
(there are a few historical exceptions due to us getting it wrong the
first time).

I'd be a little happier if this wasn't termed 'in_hid_probe' but rather something
like _needs_io_start.

That way we are reflecting what needs to happen, not where we are in the code
flow that makes it true.

A very good reason for not adding superficial comments.
This one is wrong or at least misleading.  It doesn't register
the iio device.  So get rid of all these comments that are
just saying what the code next to them is doing.  Keep the ones
that add extra information.

That is nasty.  Add a local variable to make to clear that iio_priv(iio_dev)
is actually some space for this pointer. Complex type casting is not
terribly readable.

Also wrong as it's not actually setting up the trigger at all ;) It's setting
up the handling for what to do when a trigger event occurs.

I really don't like nest of pointers going on in here.  I haven't dug
down to check if any of them can be remove, but they are definitely
ugly to deal with.

I'll bite.  So how can this actually happen?  What fundamentally breaks in
your model if there really are two?  Can you fix whatever that is so
as to drop this handling?

return appleals_config_iio(als_dev);

I would be decidedly worried if you actually have any paths
where setting these to NULL do anything useful. By the time
we get here we should absolutely 'know' nothing will touch
these pointers.

It is these that are blocking Peter's suggestion of using
devm to clean all of this up automatically for you.

Hmm. This is all a bit odd.  We register a platform device, to call it's driver
so that it can then register another driver?  I'll let Lee comment on that but
it does seem overly complex.

Given you are going to have this error printing in every sub driver and
the text is totally generic, can you just move it into the core?

Same applies for similar cases above.

Use managed allocation to avoid needing to clean this up?
