Not sure if everyone is aware of this but AI review in:

https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260318-dev_ad5706r-v3-0-5d078f41e988%40analog.com

The DMA comment is an interesting one. Likely it needs improvement in the review-prompt repo given
it's one of those case we know what we're doing (at least we think we know :)). Still has a point
in that IIO_DMA_MINALIGN should be used.

At some point we need to add some IIO specific bits :)
