Some part of the configuration are not touched after the probe

Adding an error checking ensures that the inital configuration will
be written correctly. Moreover ensures that a sensible configuration
will be saved in driver data and used subsequently as intended.

Applied to the togreg branch of iio.git and pushed out as testing.
Added a reported by for Maarten.

Thanks. Also for the CC as I'm not (yet) subscribed to this list.

Would this fix mean that loading the driver fails if the update_config
fails? And thus if the driver is not a module, would require a reboot
of the OS?
Seems like a rather steep requirement for something that can be so
easily fixed later on by e.g. caching an invalid config channel.
There's not even a single retry. And I don't suppose the I2C driver
will auto-retry either.
