What makes it simple? Any binding called simple or generic is a trigger 
for me. Best to avoid those terms. :)

Examples of devices would be useful here.

You don't need to reference consumer schemas.

Property names should globally only have 1 type definition. This is 
generic enough I'd be concerned that's not the case.

Not really useful names. Do you have a real example?

IMO, invert should be same length as io-channels.

How do support multiple instances? Say you have 2 sound cards (or 1 
sound card with multiple audio paths) each with different sets of IIO 
channels associated with it. You'd need a link to each 'aux' node. Why 
not just add io-channels to the sound card nodes directly? That's 
already just a virtual, top-level container node grouping all the 
components. I don't see why we need another virtual node grouping a 
subset of them.
