Hi Kees,

The assumptions are mostly characteristics of how the IIO buffers work
with the scan masks defined based on indexes in the driver provided
struct iio_chan_spec arrays.

This driver is doing more work than it should need to as we long ago
moved some of the more fiddly handling into the IIO core.

That is indeed not good - the buffer should have been zero initialized.

True, which is the right size as far as I can tell.
If we need this to suppress a warning then comment should say that.

Not needed but no way a compiler could know that.

This is all a bit pointless if not 'wrong' other than the
4th byte uninitialized part.  The limit can be hard coded as 2 as
that's a characteristic of this driver.

For device that always read a particular set of channels they
should provide indio_dev->available_scan_masks = { BIT(1) | BIT(0), 0 };
and then always push all the data making this always

	memcpy(&tmp_buf[0], &st->rx_buf[1], 3);
	mempcy(&tmp_buf[1], &st->rx_buf[1] + 3, 3);

The buffer demux code in the IIO core will deal with repacking the data
if only one channel is enabled.

Can only include items from the channels array at indexes up to the max
scan_index in there, so 0 and 1 in this case (1 might not be present if only
one channel is enabled). Sizes (and alignment) are given by storagebits so
4 bytes for each.
