Hmm. If this had been other than to a staging driver I think I would
have asked you to split this into a rework patch doing the local variable
change, then one actually making the fix.  Good result though,
so as it's in staging we'll go with this :)

Applied to the togreg branch of iio.git and pushed out as testing
for the autobuilders to play with it.

Thanks,

Jonathan
