This is to avoid tripping up kernel-doc which filters it out before
but not after the name.

Fixes:
./include/linux/iio/iio.h:628: warning: Function parameter or struct member '__private' not described in 'iio_dev'
./include/linux/iio/iio.h:628: warning: Excess struct member 'priv' description in 'iio_dev'

 The alternative is tweak kernel-doc. Given it was inconsistent with the
 other __private entry anyway I decided to do it like this.

 Not already applied and pushed out to squash the issue in linux-next.

This is still inconsistent from the position perspective (while may still
work). I specifically placed it there, otherwise what you need is to have

	void * __private priv;

to be fully consistent.

That said, either you need to carefully reindent all the affected members,
or fix the kernel-doc, or both.

Doh. Indeed. The marking was wrong and sparse tripped on it.

I'll switch to void * __private priv; hideous though that is and not worry about indenting.

We can then decide next cycle whether to tidy up better.

Style wise I decided this was least hideous

void				*__private priv;
