Currently we have two pairs of functions which respectively are used to allocate/register and unregister/free a iio devices. The first pair is iio_allocate_device, iio_device_register and the second pair is iio_device_unregister, iio_free_device. So what can be seen is, that there is a bit of inconsistency here as to where to put the "device" in the function name. So in order to streamline the API I propose to rename iio_free_device to iio_device_free and iio_allocate_device to iio_device_alloc (alloc instead of allocate to be more in sync with other in kernel APIs e.g. platform_device_alloc). If nobody sees any problems or has any objections I'll send a patch. - Lars -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
