Not enough for the commit message.

Wow! All of them are in use?

And if you swap them, won't the binary size be less?

Hmm... Don't we have a macro for this nowadays?

Why not 2D array?

Leave trailing comma, it's not a terminator.

No way. This is variable on stack, not all CPUs / architectures allow this.
And actually why this alignment to begin with? Wouldn't

__be16 val;

suffice?

Why are 'i' and 'j' signed?

'i' is not used outside for-loop, hence

for (unsigned int i = 0; i < st->watermark; i++) {

Reinventing get_unaligned_be32() if I'm not mistaken.

All delays must be documented. Add a comment with the datasheet reference to
explain the value and need of the sleep.

Wouldn't

return devm_iio_device_register(dev, indio_dev);

suffice?

No ', 0' part.

Can somebody at Analog start a common internal Wiki or other resources
and collect there typical requirements for the code in IIO? It will prevent
reviewers and maintainers from doing the same replies again and again.
