Except for the one #18 as mentioned below.

Yes. Once the header files is modified without the two .c files the
driver is not working. To fix this I need another patch making sure
input + iio does not the header files and another to user it (once
everything is merged).

It would work in general. The first few DT-iio patches wouldn't make
sense but then why not.

Nicer. I see. Please tell me what you think about #1 because I really
would like to drop regmap and then I can start reshuffle the series :)
