Long enough. I guess Mathieu is busy so I'll apply this (mostly before
it goes so far back in my email that I loose it)

Applied to the togreg branch of iio.git and pushed out as testing for
the autobuilders to play with it.  I thought about marking for stable
to reduce noise but decided that compiler is old enough (and I've not
seen it with GCC 8 IIRC) that I wouldn't bother.

Basically I'm taking this on the merits of it being better code rather 
than the warning fix :)

Thanks,
