Set the iio device's name based on the chip used for the LTC2499 only. The most common way for IIO clients to interact with a device is to address it based on it's name. By using the dev_name() function, the name will be set based on a i2c_client's kobj name, which has the format i2c_instance-i2c_address (1-0076 for example). This is not ideal, since it makes a requirement for userspace to have knowledge about the hardware connections of the device. The name field is set to NULL for the LTC2497 and LTC2496, so that the old name can kept as it is, since changing it will result in an ABI breakage.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
