I was also thinking that for this series, [for some drivers] it would make sense
to put a reference to indio_dev on the state-struct; and just return it.
I'll see about it.
I am feeling that sometimes these IIO core cleanups end up being more than I
want to do. But I'll try to see about it. Maybe I can make time or delegate some
of this.

My personal interest with them, is to reduce my complaints during reviews.
People starting to write IIO drivers: well, I can see their frustration [on
their faces] when I complain that they shouldn't use something, and they copied
it from somewhere.
