Except don't do that.   Consumers should not be able to see the internals
of iio devices..  Hence instead, move the required enum to types.h please.

One other passing comment inline (not one I'm expecting you to do anything
about!).  Otherwise this is fine with me.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hmm. Not keen on this include as it just exposed the internals
to IIO consumers which we really don't want to do.

This is to allow access to the enum iio_chan_info_enum?
Move it to types.h please.

This pretty much highlights that we are still missing a function to allow us
to query what form write data should be presented in...

Here we have tightly coupled hardware so we know the answer, but in general
we don't.

Still can be a follow up patch when someone needs it.
