Indeed, the file name will be removed in the nest iteration.

I will mode is_invert_range after the int members.

Seems not applicable here.
 - IIO does not use linear_range or something similar. It just uses simple int.
 - ASoC does not use linear_range or something similar. It just uses simple long.

So, I keep the simple int min and max.

By construction,
min = 0
max = iio_read_max_channel_raw() - iio_read_min_channel_raw()

and iio_read_max_channel_raw() returns a value greater or equal to
iio_read_min_channel_raw().

But to be sure, I will check the last asumption at probe() and swap
the minimum and maximum values if needed.

Yes but to be coherent, in ASoC code, many places need to be changed too
in order to use the newly defined value.
I don't think these modifications should be part of this series.

Indeed, the 0 assignment will be removed in the next iteration.

I will rework the error paths (gotos) to avoid these assignement.

Will be done in next iteration.

Will be changed in the next iteration.

Indeed, I didn't know str_on_off().
Thanks for pointing.
Will be use in next iteration.

Not sure, is_invert_range is a bool and tmp is a u32.

In previous iteration, I wrote
  iio_aux_chan->is_invert_range = !!tmp;

Hum, this comment was raised in the previous iteration
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/20230501162456.3448c494@jic23-huawei/

I didn't find any equivalent to of_property_read_u32_index() in the 
device_property_read_*() function family.
I mean I did find anything available to get a value from an array using an index.

In the previous iteration it was concluded that keeping OF APIs in this series
seemed "reasonable".

None -> I will remove platform_set_drvdata().

Will be fixed.
