The backend is a provider-consumer type of API. On the consumer side (which is the
driver the child node will probe on), we need to call devm_iio_backend_get() to get
the backend object (which obviously is the parent). For that, 'io-backends' is being
used. We do have another API called __devm_iio_backend_get_from_fwnode_lookup() that
could be used with the parent fwnode and should work. However that was only added to
keep backward compatibility in the first user of the IIO backend framework and it's
not really meant to be used again. We are aware this is awkward at the very least [1]
but hopefully still acceptable.
