Hmm, can we somehow re-enable it again with a proper configuration (after the mode
change)?

no AD7380 prefix?

Given the comment, I would expect you to disable osr before changing the mode.

1?

Also, it would be nice if we could re-enabled osr. So the flow would maybe be:

1) disable osr;
2) change mode;
3) do whatever we need so configuration makes sense for new mode?
4) re-enable osr;
5) soft-reset;

Also not sure if 4) and 5) are in the correct order.

Maybe use IIO_ENUM... It allows the core to do some of the stuff you're doing for
you.
