It depends on the actual device but things the like battery management
are a key one.

We can't go around blocking entire platforms because of the IIO blob. I
raised this point with the whole previous *generation* of Intel SoC
devices about IIO and nothing has been done about it.

Get IIO out of staing and we can look at it, until then IIO is staging
code, it's not part of the kernel, it may never be part of the kernel,
and it should never block actual kernel code.
