How often is this true?  A quick and dirty grep suggests at least 2 so perhaps
worth retaining the old behaviour.

Can we take that into account?  Maybe something like

#define opaque_struct_size(p, a, s) ((s) ? size_add(ALIGN(sizeof(*(p)), (a)), (s)): sizeof(*p)) 

Or do it at the call site below.

Would have been safer if original code set this to NULL if
sizeof_priv == 0

A driver doing that should never have used iio_priv() but nicer if it was NULL rather
than off the end of the allocation.
