I would argue, is this a real problem? Today iio_buffer_enabled() seem
to handle well what this driver is expecting. If tomorrow someone adds
another mode, that is his/her responsibility to state "okay, this
section is not common to all buffer styles *anymore*, so we need to do
a more fine grained check against ->currentmodes than
iio_buffer_enabled() does". In that case using the ->currentmodes
getter would be the right way to go, but only at that particular
moment, not today.
