[RFC,0/6] iio: mark scan_timestamp __private

Message

The scan_timestamp value of the struct iio_dev, even though is an
internal variable, it is being used in some drivers. To avoid any
unwanted overwrites of this value, create a getter and when all the
drivers are converted, mark the variable as __private.

The patch is an RFC because the added value might not be considered
high enough by someone to be implemented and/or it might need to be
done in a different way since it touches multiple drivers.

Vasileios Amoiridis (6):
  iio: create accessor for iio_dev->scan_timestamp
  iio: make use of iio_is_soft_ts_enabled()
  iio: adc: dln2-adc: make use of iio_is_soft_ts_enabled()
  iio: adc: max1363: make use of iio_is_soft_ts_enabled()
  iio: common: ssp_sensors: make use of iio_is_soft_ts_enabled()
  iio: core: mark scan_timestamp as __private
