Hi Herve,

All the comments on this are really comments on the existing code.
If you don't mind fixing the first one about checking the error code whilst
you are here that would be great. Don't worry about the docs comment.
There are lots of instances of that and the point is rather subtle and probably
post dates this code being written. In a few cases raw doesn't mean ADC counts
but rather something slightly modified... Long story for why!

Obviously this is copied from *_read_max() but look at it here...

We should check for an error first with
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
then the switch.

Currently a different positive ret would result in that value
being returned which would be odd. Not a problem today, but if we add other
iio_avail_type enum entries in future and don't keep up with all the
utility functions then a mess may result.

If you agree with change and wouldn't mind adding another patch to this series
tidying that up for the _max case that would be great! Otherwise I'll get to
fixing that at some point but not anytime soon.

Hmm. That comment is almost always true, but not quite. Not related to
your patch but some cleanup of this documentation and pushing it down next
to implementations should be done at some point. If anyone is really
bored and wants to take this on that's fine. If not, another one for the
todo list ;)
