Seems unrelated?

There was some discussion around having APIs with a boolean parameter (actually
even improving - in terms of callbacks - further with some generic
getter/setter's) or having two callbacks:

iio_backend_oversampling_enable()
iio_backend_oversampling_disable()

I'm guessing you don't really want to do any major conversion/refactoring at
this point in your series so I have a slight preference for just keeping the
current style of dedicated enable and disable APIs (irrespective of being the
better approach or not). Please consider it, if you have to re-spin the series.
