One trivial comment inline.

The use of IIO_INFO_ENABLE is unusual. So far the only documented uses of
that are

What: /sys/.../iio:deviceX/in_energy_en
What: /sys/.../iio:deviceX/in_distance_en
What: /sys/.../iio:deviceX/in_velocity_sqrt(x^2+y^2+z^2)_en
What: /sys/.../iio:deviceX/in_steps_en
KernelVersion: 3.19
Contact: linux-iio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Description:
Activates a device feature that runs in firmware/hardware.
E.g. for steps: the pedometer saves power while not used;
when activated, it will count the steps taken by the user in
firmware and export them through in_steps_input.

And this doesn't match up with these sort of 'counting' or 'cumulative' measures.

I wonder treating it like a DAC output and instead using _powerdown
instead?

Looks to be one tab too far indented.
