Thanks for the patch.  It's actually a driver bug if this occurs.
We could have had a WARN_ON to let userspace know about the bug and
indeed taken the error route you suggest but
the relevant code has actually undergone a rewrite anyway so the
bit you are fixing doesn't exist any more anyway.

See http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio-blue.git;a=summary
For our current dev tree (eats babies and includes all sorts of stuff
that hasn't been reviewed yet - so beware).
