i can send a v12 for this in a few days;

simple link
any suggestions/alternatives?
i wasn't aware of conventions about this;

[1]
because 'adi_axi_adc_conv_priv()' (and implicitly conv_to_client()) gets called
from other drivers; we can't expect to be sure that conv & cl aren't NULL;

umm; tbh, it's more of a copy/clone of iio_priv() 

it's not un-common though;
see [and this one has more exposure]:
--------------------------------------------------------
static inline void *netdev_priv(const struct net_device *dev)
{       
        return (char *)dev + ALIGN(sizeof(struct net_device), NETDEV_ALIGN);
}
--------------------------------------------------------

i did now;
any hints where i should look closer?

good point; it isn't;
it's a left-over from when adi_axi_adc_conv_unregister() was exported
still, i wouldn't mind leaving it [for paranoia], if there isn't a strong
opinion to remove it;

yes

i don't feel strongly pro/against

right; it didn't occur to me, since i was already using
of_device_get_match_data() in ad9467
