Looks correct to me, but given the upshot of the bug is that in
a case where an bus access fails we don't power down (which requires a bus
access). It's unlikely to happen in practice and outcome is device
remains powered up when it shouldn't be which isn't too bad an outcome.

Hence I'll queue this up the slow way.
Applied to the testing branch of iio.git for 0-day to play with it before
I rebase on rc1 once available.

Thanks,

Jonathan
