Hi Justin
A few suggestions inline. Other than the DMA safe buffer thing, looks good
but you might want to consider using a single bulk read.
My cynical view is that if someone paid for an IMU they probably want all
the channels, so optimizing for that case is a good plan.

Hmm. The IIO_BUFFER select shouldn't have been here as no obvious use
in the driver. Ah well - this patch 'fixes' that :)

This is always a fun corner.
regmap doesn't guarantee to bounce buffer the data used by the underlying
transport. In the case of SPI that means we need a DMA safe buffer for bulk
accesses. In practice it may well bounce the data today but there are optmizations
that would make it zero copy that might get applied in future.
Easiest way to do that is put your sample variable in the iio_priv structure
at the end and mark it __aligned(IIO_DMA_MINALIGN)
Given you are reading a bunch of contiguous registers here it may well make
sense to do a single bulk read directly into buf and then use
the available_scan_masks to let the IIO core know it always gets a full set
of samples. Then if the user selects a subset the IIO core will reorganize
the data that they get presented with.
Whether that makes sense from a performance point of view depends on
the speed of the spi transfers vs the cost of setting up the individual ones.
You could optimize contiguous reads in here, but probably not worth that
complexity.

It's not a huge buffer and you aren't DMAing into it, so maybe just put this
on the stack?
