Hi Stepan, Jonathan,

I saw this was getting orphaned, and I was wondering if I could step
up as maintainer. I think it would be an interesting challenge but I
think I could do it, I've been doing a whole lot of stuff across iio.
I don't have the hardware but I'd be happy to step up to keep this
driver up-to-date.

best regards,
max
