Hi Crt,

I think I also mentioned switching to devm_iio_device_register().
I don't mind if that's in a follow on patch (as technically unconnected
from runtime pm) but it is something that needs tidying up now there is
nothing else in remove. Otherwise we leave this driver in a state that
I don't want anyone else copying into a new driver!

As per my reply to the cover letter, I'm unconvinced that we want to drop
the code to put the device into a low power state on remove().
We do however want to make that a problem for the devm_ infrastrucuture.
Normally this is done by adding a devm_add_action_or_reset() call
to add a callback just after we power up the chip in the first place.
That way an error path also results in us trying to leave the device
in a low power state.

Once you reach the point where this is all that is left in
remove() you can just use devm_iio_device_register() and it'll
be cleaned up automatically + can drop remove().

It is technically an unconnected change though, so I guess it can be a follow up
patch.
