IIO provides a lot more flexibility and is rather newer, input provides
a more focussed interface. In some cases it may make sense to provide
different interfaces to each (eg atomspheric pressure doesn't fit well
into input, but 3 axis accelerometers fit perfectly)

You probably want a driver for the MPU itself whih provides the
needed glue and also control interfaces (firmware load etc). That may
well be a drivers/misc item as I imagine that part is quite unique and
specialised.
