Hi Paul,

Generally looks good to me, but I'm not sure the overflow checks will work
as expected.

I don't think this check will trigger if I read the sysfs_emit_at() docs right.

Can this trigger?  sysfs_emit_at() inside __iio_format_value() will only return
characters written which I think is none if there isn't space left in the page...

I think the normal thing to do is to just not handle the overflow if it occurs...
