Thanks for the patch. It's actually a driver bug if this occurs. We could have had a WARN_ON to let userspace know about the bug and indeed taken the error route you suggest but
the relevant code has actually undergone a rewrite anyway so the bit you are fixing doesn't exist any more anyway.
See http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio-blue.git;a=summary
For our current dev tree (eats babies and includes all sorts of stuff that hasn't been reviewed yet - so beware).

Yes, That makes more sense.
