Ok, I can send another patch later to conform to this for the rest of
the driver.

Will do.

Ok, I can change the name to something like "toshiba_iio_accel*" to
differentiate.

Agreed, I had the iio_device_alloc check returning the error on fail,
but only a printed message on the iio_device_register check on the
first version, I should have added a print statement to the first too.

I'll add an error message to the iio_device_alloc check,
drop the returns and I'll send a v3 in a few.
