I am not entirely sure I understand what problem this patch is supposed
to fix on top of the patch you just applied, and I am also a bit concerned
about reversing the logic. Also, iio_channel_get_sys can return -ENOMEM
and -EINVAL besides -ENODEV, all of which is now being ignored unless dev is
set, and then it is returned unconditionally. So instead of ignoring error
codes from of_iio_channel_get_by_name, the code now ignores error codes
from iio_channel_get_sys under some circumstances (which, coincidentially,
does not return -EPROBE_DEFER), and in other circumstances may return an error
even if devicetree data exists. Why and how is that better than before ?
Seems to me it just introduces a whole number of new failure conditions.
