inkern.c and industrialio-core.c are in the same compilation unit as far as I
can see:

industrialio-y := industrialio-core.o industrialio-event.o inkern.o

So I don't see a problem there, just make it non-static and a declaration for
it to iio-core.h. Or maybe even better add a of_find_iio_device_by_node() function.
