It's strange.

What I meant is solely comments to be joined, not the code.

Hmm... is it over 100? Or you are using some old tools to work with
the kernel...

This way (w/o _NON_SHIFTED suffix) if both 13:s in the code are of the
same meaning.

Recently IIO gained some features among which I think the one that
assigns parent devices.
