Can we say the "IIO core by default" does this. Otherwise implication
is we don't provide an alternative - whereas the fwnode_xlate() callback
is there to cover this sort of thing.  Otherwise this sounds like we should
be modifying the IIO core rather than the driver.

Otherwise nothing from me to add to what Andy's already covered.
