Good point. New use case for us so suggestions on how to do the association cleanly would be most welcome. Is there anything similar out there? We could add a per iio device sysfs interface to add additional mappings but it is a little uggly...

Hi Jonathan,
In other words, I can not test it on a PC unless I write a driver to
instantiate it. Not too helpful :(. It means that iio drivers can not
be used / instantiated for hardware monitoring on PCs.
