This mask was present in the internal ASoC helpers used when
devices can be accessed using regmap.
The IIO accesses done by simple_iio_aux_get_volsw() and 
simple_iio_aux_put_volsw() were based on these internal helpers.
Not sure about the exact reason to this mask. Maybe Mark can answer.

For these particular use-cases using an IIO channel, the mask present in
simple_iio_aux_get_volsw() and simple_iio_aux_put_volsw() can be removed.

I will remove in the next iteration except if Mark tell me to keep them.

No device_property_read_*() function family are available to get a value
from an array using an index.

I would prefer to keep the of_property_read_*() function family I use for this
first IIO auxiliary device support.

I have the feeling that ASoC uses dev_err_probe() for cases that can defer.
Mark, can you confirm ?

Will be done in the next iteration.

I will remove the '!!' construction.

of_match_ptr will be removed (and the #ifdef CONFIG_OF also).

Thanks for the review.
