Similar story, I think. On mainline hrtimers run in hardirq mode by
default, whereas in RT they run in softirq mode by default. So we
haven't see the issue in mainline.

To fix this we need to explicitly specify that the IIO hrtimer always
needs to run in hardirq mode by using the HRTIMER_MODE_REL_HARD flag.
I'll send a patch.

Sounds like a plan :)
