Compare the sysfs files and their behavior that the driver registers with what is documented in the IIO ABI spec[1]. If you can't find it in the documentation it either needs to be documented or updated to use the existing ABI correctly. Note that this is not necessarily trivial and may require in-depth knowledge and understanding of the IIO ABI.

You mean to say I shouldn't spent much time here because this is not much important and if this is the case then I think I should look into some area which make more sense.

Thanks
