I think that just around would be clear enough.

In the previous patches on this file, found with git log --oneline, a
subject line of staging: iio: ad7192: seems to be more popular when the
patch affects only this file.  But maybe it doesn't matter either way.

Take a closer look at that macro. It isn't doing what you think...  To give a hint, changing this breaks userspace.

Ok, I'm bored of this particular one coming up. When you have
worked out what is going on Himanshi, would you mind putting
together a patch adding a comment describing why it is a bad
idea to 'fix' this?  That would be a very useful patch as
far as I'm concerned :)

There aren't that many cases of this in IIO so adding a comment
on each of them is probably reasonable just to avoid wasting
people's time on fixing them! (I think we have had more than
5 such goes this year so far...)

I'd much rather fix this API so that you have to put "" around the name so
that it is clear that it is a string, rather than doing the implicit
conversion to string using preprocessor magic. Better to have a
self-documenting API then having to add a comment to each user of the API.

Good point.

All the DEVICE_ATTR macros use the same strategy.  And the non-IIO ones,
eg DEVICE_ATTR_RW, also use the provided name to construct the names of
the show and store functions, so I don't think a string would be
appropriate.

I'm only suggesting to use a string for the _NAMED macros where the name is
not used to construct the identifiers.

In the case where the name is used to construct the identifiers we don't
have the issue with false positives since the name must be a valid
identifier on its own.
