There was a recent discussion about this code: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/20200322165317.0b1f0674@archlinux/ This looks like a good time to removed this, since any issues about it should pop-up under testing, because the iio_dev is having a bit of an overhaul and stuff being moved to iio_dev_opaque.
