Hello Jonathan!

Thanks for your review!

Yeah, with Cirrus one is served elsewhere much better than on the Cirrus's website.
First hit by Google (on "ep9301 user's guide") gives the document which is even
missing at Cirrus:
https://www.embeddedarm.com/documentation/third-party/ts-7000_ep9301-ug.pdf

High end models (EP9307, EP9312, EP9315) have TS controller, which can operate
in general purpose ADC mode. In this mode these names are just ball names on the
pinout. They are all the same. There is only one issue -- I have not found any
official numbering for these devices, therefore wanted to expose this naming to
user space. Low end devices (EP9301, EP9302) have same hw block where TS mode is
not advertised, and even though the balls/pins are still named as in TS controller,
they are also referred as ADC0-ADC4 in datasheet. But there are only 5 of them,
so we do not know the numbers for other 3 in the bigger devices.

If this is not the purpose of extend_name, I'll drop them.

see above...

Yes, I've added a timeout for v2. We really don't need a second sleep here, the sleep
before should ensure polling ends up immediately. But timeout will ensure read
will not hang even if HW is exploded.

This is a valid point... Will drop devm_iio_device_register() usage in v2...

Well, dropping devm_iio_device_register() will require its usage...
