Got it, much cleaner also.

Sure, I'll give a look. I didn't want to do string manipulations on a kernel
driver but couldn't found a way to log the error meaningfully in one entry.

Isn't the same case as "const struct iio_chan_spec *channels" or "const int
*oversampling_temp_avail". I thoght that this meant a pointer to a constant
integer. On bmp280-core I declare the arrays with the modifiers static const.

Yeah, can be u8, as the reg width is 1 byte and this IDs are stored on one reg.
I just carried over the int type from previous versions, but it's just wasting
space :/

Thanks for your time!

Kind regards,
