Very nice.
Only outstanding question I think is whether it is worth making device
tree explicitly aware of floating point. If that happens we may
need to play some games to support that and this existing string binding
but I doubt that will be too hard.
Applied to the togreg branch of iio.git
Thanks,

Reads well and covers everything so I'm happy with this description.
