I was in process of taking this series and applying that tweak
so you could build on top and found something curious.
The ad7768-1 driver. However, I asked claude to tell me if they
were similar and indeed it provided a bunch of evidence
to support your statement that they aren't that close.
So fair enough and someone should talk to your chip naming
department :)  Applied to the testing branch of iio.git for
the bots to take a look.

Thanks,

Jonathan
