What you describe here seems similar to audio codecs device defined in
ASoC. An Audio codec is an external chip that is connected to SoC
through an audio bus.
ASoC allows to bind this codec with the SOC DAI (digital Audio Interface).
FYI we should have this kind of feature to support on STM32 uin second step:
DSFDM input can also process stm32 ADC output through an hardware pipe
(stm32-adc IIO driver that has been recently integrated in kernel).
Internally, to pipe the ADC with DFSDM, we use an extension of inkern
interface that is very similar with the one mentioned by Lars:
https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/linux/blob/xcomm_zynq/drivers
/iio/buffer/hw_consumer.c
Don't know if this is what Lars has in mind... but a solution could be
to define a new type of IIO that would be something like
"postprocessing" or "filter". This new iio device type could be piped to
a frontend IIO device to export a new one (through hw_consumer.c interface).
In this case for simple device like PDM audio microphone that does not
required control a kind of dummy frontend device could be defined...
