Given only thing I'm planning to do is tweak the line wrapping, I'm
happy to pick this series up.

The two fixes will slow things down a bit though as we should probably
get those upstream this cycle.

I'm going to leave this on list for a few days before I take anything
though, to give others time to take a look.

One side note, cc list includes a few random choices... Seems you've
accidentally included alsa people as well as IIO ones. 

Thanks
