Yes, just make it a tag

DocLink: ....

At least you may introduce a typedef, because above really hurts my eyes.

Yes, prefix is what I was talking about.

There are few things:
a) do {} while notation immediately tells that at least one cycle of
body will be done (unconditionally);
b) it makes a loop variable unsigned and no need to check for specific
negative numbers;
c) it quite likely will generate slightly better assembly code.

It's simple a bad coding practice. Please, change.

Same here.

IIO ABI becomes already a big pile of nodes and I hope we will become
stricter about adding new ones.

It's not good from bisectability point of view. If by some reason this
patch or documentation patch gets reverted, the other one will be
dangling.
Please, unify them.
