I think the main issue remaining there is the dubious sysfs interface to create event 'interrupts'. iio_dummy_evgen.c it uses a chained interrupt call so doesn't allow a top
 half and hence doesn't really illustrate a typical driver.

The way it is done in the sysfs trigger is much nicer. However I have been meaning to
 see if there is a general test interrupt source or if not any interest in having one.
