Hi Anthony, I am a little unclear of what you are trying to accomplish. Do you simply want to be able to read a value from the device from another driver or set some control parameters? If so we have the in kernel interfaces that allow you to do so in either polled mode (Similar to sysfs operation) or in buffered mode (similar to buffered mode via the IIO chrdev). They are in the inkern.c file and iio/consumer.h. To do that you have to register the relevant channel maps either in code, or using the devicetree. There are quite a few examples in tree.
