To be honest main reason for doing of first was that they have unit tests :)

The IIO drivers were more of a proving ground than cases I really cared
out cleaning up.  However I'm always of the view that better to make
some improvement now than wait for a perfect improvement later.
 
However one or two are not going to be converted to fwnode handling
any time soon because they make use of phandle based referencing for
driver specific hook ups that isn't going to get generic handling any
time soon.

I'll probably focus on getting the fwnode version of this moving
forwards first though and 'maybe' convert a few of the easier ones
of these over to that framework to reduce how many users of this
we end up with in IIO.
