Should we use return dev_err_probe() on these to help with debugging a bad dtb?

We can make this less verbose by setting #define
DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE at the start of the file. Then we can just do
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() throughout the rest of the file.

Also, I would prefer if the namespace matched config name (IIO_ADC_HELPER).

There are some different opinions on this, but on the last patch I did
introducing a new namespace, the consensus seems to be that putting
the MODULE_IMPORT_NS() in the header file was convenient so that users
of the API don't have to remember to both include the header and add
the import macro.
