I'm using the driver; I'm even interested in fixing it. Please try not
to make my job any harder than it needs to be, and I'll try to break
ABI.
That goes to Sebastian, too.
If you want to convert the driver to IIO, please do so, I can test the patches.
Thank you,

I'm using the driver; I'm even interested in fixing it. Please try not
to make my job any harder than it needs to be, and I'll try to break
ABI.
That goes to Sebastian, too.
