For any of the drivers in staging it is worth taking a look at lore.kernel.org
and seeing what has been proposed in the past. IIRC, this one has been the subject
of more than one attempt to clean it up. The userspace ABI is a long way with
compliant with IIO ABI. The challenge with sorting that out is that the changes
are invasive so you'd need to figure out how to test them.
