Hi Wilfried,
Welcome to IIO and kernel in general!
It's useful to add to the description if the error was found by inspection / script
or by observing an actual error on hardware?
Also, needs a fixes tag so we can work out what kernels to back port it to.
+CC Charle-Antoine Couret as the original driver author.
Thanks,
Jonathan
