   - proper use of the bool type (Thomas Meyer)

   - constification of struct config_item_type (Bhumika Goyal)"

612a462acb iio: make function argument and some structures const
Make the argument of the functions iio_sw{d/t}_group_init_type_name const
as they are only passed to the function config_group_init_type_name having
the argument as const.

Make the config_item_type structures const as they are either passed to
the functions having the argument as const or they are
stored in the const "ci_type" field of a config_item structure.

38ebbf689e iio:triggers: drop assign iio_info.driver_module and iio_trigger_ops.owner
The equivalent of both of these are now done via macro magic when
the relevant register calls are made.  The actual structure
elements will shortly go away.

Note that stm32-timer-trigger has expanded rather beyond triggers
(to include encoder input counting for example) and hence has an
iio_info structure.

bc2e1126ec iio:trigger: Experimental kthread tight loop trigger (thread only)
This patch is in response to that of
Gregor Boirie <gregor.boirie@parrot.com>
who proposed using a tight kthread within a device driver (be it with the
support factored out into a helper library) in order to basically spin as
fast as possible.

It is meant as a talking point rather than a formal proposal of the code
(though we are heading towards that I think).
Also gives people some working code to mess around with.

I proposed that this could be done with a trigger with a few constraints
and this is the proof (be it ugly) of that.

There are some constraints though, some of which we would want to relax
if this were to move forward.

* Will only run the thread part of the registered pollfunc.  This is to
  avoid the overhead of jumping in and out of interrupt context.  Is the
  overhead significant?  Not certain but feels like it should be!

* This limitation precludes any device that 'must' do some work in
  interrupt context.  However, that is true of few if any drivers and
  I suspect that any that do will be restricted to using triggers they
  provide themselves.  Usually we have a top half mainly to grab a
  timestamp as soon after the dataready type signal as possible.
