Hi Jyoti,

could you still change the above code to also accept lower case 'x',
'y', 'z'?

Supporting lower case as well would establish compatibility with the
lower case naming conventions used for IIO channels. By this change,
channels could be forwarded without name changes (as long as they fit
into the name field). I'm sorry to notice this only now.

Best regards,

Peter
