All of it (well not the table, but the code that directly accesses the
table).  As a general rule I'd like to see all driver in IIO
using the generic firmware accessors in property.h so that they work
with PRP0001 and other firmware types (see reply to later patch)

It's understandable that a given driver is only used on dt based
platforms, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't prefer generic code
if we can do it easily.  It becomes easier to review and better as a source
of code that might get copied into future drivers.
