IIO provides a lot more flexibility and is rather newer, input provides a more focussed interface. In some cases it may make sense to provide different interfaces to each (eg atomspheric pressure doesn't fit well into input, but 3 axis accelerometers fit perfectly)

You probably want a driver for the MPU itself whih provides the needed glue and also control interfaces (firmware load etc). That may well be a drivers/misc item as I imagine that part is quite unique and specialised.
