Fabrice, I think this one has sat waiting for inputs for
too long. Hence I'm going to take a slight gamble that you are correct
on doing the fix this way (I'm reasonably convinced)

Applied to the fixes-togreg branch of iio.git.
It won't go in for 5.9 now, so we have a bit of time for any last
minute comments.

Thanks,

Jonathan
