Applied to the togreg branch of iio.git and pushed out as testing for 0-day to have
fun.

As an aside, I got the warning:
  CHECK   drivers/counter/104-quad-8.c
drivers/counter/104-quad-8.c:58: warning: Function parameter or member 'lock' not described in 'quad8'

Which might be nice to clean up, but has nothing much to do with this patch.
