Ultimately there is a lot to be said for a common interface, but as you
yourself point out - there isn't actually anything for it to be common
with. In this case some of the user interface side is needed at runtime
so platform interfaces (or hiding ioctls in platform code to hide it from
you ;) ) doesn't help much.

It's up to Dmitry, it would be nice to have it upstream but if it ends up
only in Meego until IIO is stabilised and out of staging then thats less
ideal.
