Hi Marcus,

Good to see this feature.  A few comments inline, mostly around
optimising the data flow / device accesses.

Thanks,

Jonathan

I was a bit surprised not to see some overlap of address setting and
read out here if both channels are enabled, so opened up the data sheet.

Can we take advantage of "Continuous communication looping on address set"
(6.7 on the datasheet).  Also for buffered capture we'd normally make
things like shifting and endian conversion a userspace problem.  Can we
not do that here for some reason?  You'd need to take care to ensure
any buffers that might be used directly for DMA obey DMA safety rules
(currently avoided by using spi_write_then_read), but it would be
nice to do less data manipulation int his path if we can.

The core sets INDIO_BUFFER_TRIGGERED as part of devm_iio_triggered_buffer_setup()
so you need to set DIRECT_MODE here (that one isn't visible to the core)

Can't use devm here for the same reason it was inappropriate in patch 2.

I'd suggest a precursor patch(es) to move the driver fully over to
devm_ managed such that you don't need a remove function and the ordering
is maintained.
