Hi Nicolas, Andy, Matt,

Just been checking patchwork for IIO and noted that this one is still outstanding.

My reading of above is that we kind of got to a conclusion - though I'd like
Matt to sanity check the patch (and maybe test it if he still has hardware for
this?)

We have a generic form of this handler that may let you drop the atlas_interrupt_handler()
function entirely iio_trigger_generic_data_rdy_poll().

Thanks,

Jonathan
