The issue here is where the access functions reside.
The list registration stuff has to be built in (now optionally!) so that
it can be filled from board files if appropriate.
The list is then used by the iio-core in response to requests from
client drivers that want to get data from iio devices. Short of
supplying access functions that are effectively the equivalent of
the standard list access functions I can't really see how else to
avoid exporting this.
I'd welcome any suggestions on this!
As for the other issues. I've added another kernel symbol (boolean)
as a top level for iio with the core underneath. That means that
this bit is no longer always built in. An additional header and
source file now contain the elements that were defined in inkern.h
and implemented in industrialio-core.c (inkern-consumer.h/.c).
Will repost for review once we've addressed this exported list question!
