The issue is the conflict between using 30+ character identifiers and 80 column lines.
Perhaps it's better just to use a longer line instead of a temporary.

	ret = iio_device_add_info_mask_type_avail(indio_dev, chan, IIO_SEPARATE,
						  &chan->info_mask_separate_available);

	ret = iio_device_add_info_mask_type_avail(indio_dev, chan, IIO_SHARED_BY_TYPE,
						  &chan->info_mask_shared_by_type_available);
