Thanks for the contribution, my comments below.

TL;DR: seems like somebody just submitted a driver without doing an internal
review with the kernel developers familiar with the upstream (and I believe
there are such in your company). This is not good. You, guys, should try your
best and not put a burden on the maintainer's/reviewers' shoulders.

Definitely big no for this one.

And simple "no" to this one.

In IIO we do
1) follow IWYU principle;
2) keep headers ordered (with possible grouping of iio/* ones or others if more
than one and specific to a domain);

Please, make sure _REG definition values are on the column, same for bitfield
defs (some people like indent them slightly differently to the regs).

0x4 --> 4 as it's just a stride. Same for the rest of the similar cases.

Possible waste of 4 bytes on some architectures. Please, run `pahole` and see
the opportunities to improve all data structure types in the driver.

Don't we have bulk API? Can't it be used here? Why?

	ret = PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(...);

might simplify the below.

Like
	if (ret == -ENODEV)
		...
	else if (ret)
		return dev_err_probe(...);

Ditto. (However see above about bulk API)

I'm so much wondering when somebody provides a wrapper that _optional() for
regulator will be optional from device source code pattern so we won't see
anymore these checks for ENODEV (with chance > 0 of a mistake in some cases as
it's usually an unintuitive for use API if you need to test for the specific
error code).

Hmm... (MICRO/MILLI) ?

Useless comment. It might be something else in some cases, we don't need to
explain this in every caller.

The >= 0 is more robust in case the value gets an error pointer or -err code.

I almost stopped here, see TL;DR above why.

No comments, no commas in terminator entry. This is a common style in IIO.

New code shouldn't use of_match_ptr().
