Principle looks good to me and some nice little duplication removal
savings.

My coccinelle isn't really up to checking that, but for the functions
Acked-by: Jonathan Cameron <jic23@xxxxxxxxxx>

When all comments are in on the code we'll have to think about how to
merge this.  If you have much else planned that will hit those iio drivers
then things will get uggly unless it goes through that tree.

Guess it all depends on whether others like the patch though ;)
