Hi,

It's always a good idea to include the kernel version in a problem report.

I tested this using Linux 4.16-rc5.  As long as I manually load all
modules in the needed order, they will all load with no symbol problems.

Were you expecting some module autoloading based on their internal
dependencies?  If so, maybe someone on the linux-iio mailing list
could comment on that.
