This driver doesn't really have a maintainer any more, though Linus W actually
last touched this bit of code. So +CC.

However, it's pretty obviously correct so applied to the fixes-togreg branch of iio.git.

For future reference, please don't send one fix as reply to a fix on a different driver.
Makes a mess of thread handling and tracking in patchwork etc.

Ideally also please provide a fixes tag.  For this one I have applied with out it
because it was a long time back and looks like the bug predates a bunch of refactoring
of this code.  

Applied to the fixes-togreg branch of iio.git and marked for stable.
