Just few inline comments; implicitly OK for others.

Isn't it 16? From my understanding of the datasheet registers involved
are from 0x50 to 0x5F.

The regmap_bus write() and read() implementations wait for an
interruptible completion, which is completed when a response from the
IMU is received. In practice by hitting Ctrl-C at the "right" moment I
got my kernel log polluted with dev_err() telling me the regmap
operation failed, but in this specific case there was nothing wrong:
it's just being aborted. Still, in all other error case I would like
to know. This is the rationale behind this check. The ERESTARTSYS
error have anyway to actually propagate in order to notify the caller
that the read/write just didn't complete.

If you mean move the check+dev_err() in bno055_sl.c regmap_bus read()
and write() ops, that is fine; my original point for putting it where
it is now, was because I was wondering whether this has to be common
to the (not yet here) I2C support code.

That was almost a coin-flip for me. Just, being a few bytes, I decided
to make them printable: If I load this driver for the 1st time, and
start poking around in it's sysfs, cat-ting random stuff to give a
look, I would just find a HEX line more friendly that a binary chunk
on my console.

.. But If you think it's better, I'll go for binary without any hesitation..

Ah, do you refer to the read_avail() operation in iio_info?
I'll try to go with it; I wasn't aware of that, thank you.
