There is a reasonably fully featured consumer interface for IIO channels
as well. Here it's being used internal to the hardware, but yes if
you want to do the mappings to other devices, it will need to 'exist'
in the device tree.

I'm guessing that you have something in mind that needs this.  If not I'd
leave it until there is a real user.

Agreed.
