I wrote that to encourage you to do more than
what checkpatch says.

I just moved code around and reduced duplication.

There are many similar opportunities for code
refactoring in staging.

You could test what I wrote, add a good commit
message with a subject like:

[PATCH V2] staging: iio: ad7280a: Refactor <functionname>

with a commit message that describes the changes and
perhaps shows the object size difference using

$ size <old> <new>

Maybe add a Suggested-by: tag if it pleases you, but
what I did is trivial and I think it's unnecessary.

Are you doing this for a class assignment?
