Looks pretty good.  A few nitpicks + a somewhat theoretical race condition
in the remove function due to use of devm_iio_device_register.
Rule of thumb is you can't use this unless you have no remove function at all.
(less obviously than normal in this case though!)

This is one of my pet hates ;)  Why have this in a define at the top
of the driver if it is used in only one place - and that place is where
I would expect to look to see what that the driver is called.
Still I don't care that much if you want to leave it here.  Just being fussy.

Hmm. Interesting case here - using this clearly doesn't result in a driver
crash, but it could in theory result in a 'race' of expectations...

As you are using the devm_ register here, the unregister will only occur
after everything in max5487_spi_remove has run. As the userspace api will
remain available until then, it is in theory possible to have the wiper
values stored to the non volatile memory and then get a sneaky change in
after that on request from userspace.  Thus userspace may think that the
value has been writen to the non volatile memory but it hasn't.

Hence, pleasee switch to the non devm_ version of iio_device_register
and call iio_device_unregister before you save the wiper regs out.
It's also more 'obviously correct' to unwind in a remove in the precise
reverse order of the probe.  Makes reviewer's job easier :)
