Never mind. My brain is really too flu-foggy to do anything.

Looks like I can use of_find_node_by_name if subdevice1 and subdevice2 have well defined
names such as iio-device or iio-trigger. It might even be possible to encode
multiple iio subdevices in names such as iio-device@0 and iio-device@1. But that
would (or not ?) mean that the names should be something like the following for
consistency.

	iio-device@35 {
		compatible = "maxim,max1139";
		reg = <0x35>;
		vcc-supply = <&reg_3p3v>;
		vref-supply = <&reg_3p3v>;
		#io-channel-cells = <1>;
	};

For multiple subdevices:

	voltage-sensor@35 {
		compatible = "maxim,max1139";
		reg = <0x35>;
		vcc-supply = <&reg_3p3v>;
		vref-supply = <&reg_3p3v>;

		iio-device {
			/* Subdevice specific data */
			#io-channel-cells = <1>;
		};

		iio-trigger {
			/* Subdevice specific data */
			#io-channel-cells = <1>;
		}

Does that make sense ?

Thanks,
Guenter
