Sure. I know the feeling.  Hopefully IIO will be generally more stable
now the vast majority of dodgy corners effecting the driver core interface
have been cleaned up ;)  In this case for most drivers, the switch over
is a 5 minute job.  Admittedly that's a fair time given the number you have

Bits where they never conformed to the abi are more of an issue, but we can
pin those down in tree.
