I hadn't realised that but don't think it will work anyway. There are several
other things than iio_dev based devices that sit on our bus unfortunately.
None are in these initial merges but they will turn up later.
The most common are iio_triggers but there are also a few weird ones such
as the event generator for the dummy driver and the sysfstrig control device.  
We could play some games to allow these to be identified, but it's going
to be a mess. Probably easier to just maintain a second list as we are doing
here.  Interesting suggestion though. Thanks and feel free to point out if there
is a simple way around the identification issue.
