Sure. I have updated the patch.

Just renaming is not sufficient. The reason is that 
devm_add_action_or_reset() require an action with action(void *) 
prototype. So the prototype of iio_backend_disable() has to be changed 
to void iio_backend_disable(void *back).
I placed the same arguments in enable and disable for symmetry, but *dev 
is not required for time being in disable API. So it can make sense to 
change iio_backend_disable() prototype.
alternatively, we can call __iio_backend_disable() through this API.
Please, let me know is you have a preference.

Thanks
Olivier
