Okay, I'll get this respun and include the fix.

Okay. I think I'll leave it as 2 and manually "unroll" the loop.

Okay, so this could be unrolled manually to check just for bits 0 and 1?

This code pattern seems repeated through all of iio, so I guess we'll
leave it as-is. It seems like it'd be nice to have a "length" argument
to iio_push_to_buffers(), just to sanity check, but that would need to
be a pretty large patch. :P

Thanks for looking at this!
