I'd really like to see this pinned down before taking this patch.
I can see you argument that the current approach is clearly wrong,
but swapping one issue for another is not an approach I'd particularly
like to take...

I can't immediately spot the cause of the crash, but there are certainly
some interesting order issues in this driver. Not enabling the vdd
regulator until after the userspace interfaces are exposed (by the
iio_device_register call) is interesting for a start.

The remove doesn't run in the reverse of the probe order (see clocks
vs regulators for example.)

Gah, my reviewing for one clearly missed some things in this driver.
