A whole new driver with exactly no changelog description at all?  I
can't take that :(

sysfs files all need to be documented in Documentation/ABI/ not in
random Documentation files :)

Also, why isn't this just an IIO driver?  Creating one-off sysfs files
for each driver is a path to madness, please work on using standard
interfaces if at all possible.

You never say what the contents of these files really are.  Nor what the
units are, if any, or what this driver even does or is used for.  For
all I know it just is a sysfs file value storage driver :)

That's a bunch of macros for just 2 files, you could just spell them out
which would make things easier...

Oops, you just raced with userspace and it never saw your sysfs file
created :(

You need to use an attribute group instead.

Or better yet, the IIO interface please.

Don't be "noisy", if a driver is working properly, nothing should show
up in the kernel log.  Otherwise it's a total mess.
