Patch makes sense and I should have spotted this one during original
review :( Going backwards and forwards is never a good idea even without
the rework you have.

But... (you knew that was coming :), there is no need to pass
data to the the read function.  It is the structure returned by
iio_priv() and not used anywhere else in the read_raw callback.
So might as well just pass the iio_dev and get the data structure
with in the read function via iio_priv(indio_dev)

Thanks,
