Subject: [PATCH 0/3] iio: complete the setup of buffer timestamps

These drivers are using iio_poll_func->timestamp in their triggered buffer
handler as the timestamp pushed to buffer.  Problem is that it was not set up
at probe time via iio_triggered_buffer_setup(), so timestamp is always 0.

Buffer space has been allocated for the timestamp, so it seems to be
wanted.  

These patches make the fix io_triggered_buffer_setup() during probe by
passing the iio_pollfunc_store_time parameter.

Alternative change would be to use iio_get_time_ns() directly in the
push_to_buffers call in the handler.  We can do this if you are not
one of those "devices (who) need a timestamp grabbed as soon as possible
after the trigger" (from iio_poll_func definition)

Either way you are using iio_get_tme_ns(), it's just a question of when.  
Let me know if you'd rather go the slower way.
