Is this going into 4.4 through the iio tree? If not is there any chance
to get it in through some other tree? While we're not past the merge
window is trivial new functionality that doesn't change code, and I'd like to
move existing configfs users over to it ASAP, so getting it into a baseline
tree ASAP would be immensely helpful.

Oh, and:

I think Jonathan could take this via linux-iio around Sunday.

Could anyone do it faster :)? Andrew?

I didn't add your Reviewed-by tag because I removed
configfs_alloc_group/configfs_free_group functions.

Thanks Christoph!

Since the IIO tree goes through the staging tree, which is already closed
for 4.4, we won't be able to get it into 4.4 through the IIO tree. The whole
configfs support for IIO will have to wait for 4.5.
