I know that there is still work to do to address Guenter's comments,
but I spent a little time playing with this today to see what else was
missing and actually got it working.  :)  I'll add a "Tested-by" once
Naveen reposts.

I sent up my patches that I needed to the ADC + device trees to get it
working, but I just realized that I forgot to CC Guenter.  Doh!  In
case you're curious, you can find them at:

This was important for me.  I had IIO setup as a module and adc
configured an in-kernel.  Without the above I got a nice linker error.
 ;)
The syntax that worked for me was 'select IIO if OF'.  I don't think
you can do a conditional depends on (it didn't work for me and I
couldn't find any examples like that).

BTW: the above line had a whitespace error on it.  Double-check that
it's gone for the next version.
