Hi Andy,

So I was actually planning to send the same patch today or in the next
few days. I do also have the conversion of inkern.c so I guess we can
move in 3 different ways:

1. If you are planning or already have some work with it, I'm more than
fine in just forgetting my patches and let you do it (you are cleaning
all the drivers already)

2. I can send the patch (without this one) already for reviewing... It
won't apply because I think there will be some conflicts with some of
the drivers you changed already. Fun fact, remove of.h from iio.h and
you see some drivers relying on it for property.h and mod_devicetable.h

3. Just wait for your latest patches to be merged and send mine next
week.

Up to you :)
