Hi Alexandru,

Thanks for the review. Some questions inline.

Thanks,
Renato

The patch-series is a bit big.
I guess that the intent is to move this out-of-staging, but various patches
are holding this in it's place.
For patch series above a certain size, you could get many re-spins
[V2,3,4... so on].

You could send some of the changes as individual patches, or group them in
series of 1,2 or 3 patches. That way, you "parallelize" patch sending, and
when you get reviews on each patch, you can re-spin them individually.
You'll find over time that certain patches get accepted on V1, others on V2
and some on V7 [ hopefully, there isn't any frustration at that point ].

On these subseries, should versioning follow this patchset (v5) or should
they start anew (v1), ignoring this series version?

Well, this is a technique I use to distribute some of my upstream-patch-
work, so that I can switch easier between internal-work & upstreaming-work.

Coming back to this patch-series.
My general input, is that the patches are fine over-all; some are just
cosmetics/noise/a-different-way-of-doing-things-for-this-driver, and those
usually can be left to preference [of the maintainer usually].

I do suggest to not hurry when re-spinning patches, and not change too much
the number of patches in a new series. That can complicate things
sometimes. But, if doing small patch-series or individual patches, you
won't have this problem too much.

Thanks
Alex


This series of patches contains the following:
 - Adds user input for the 'gain' and 'filter' GPIO pins for the ad778x
   family chips;
 - Filter reading for the ad778x;
 - Sets pattern macro values and mask for PATTERN status bits;
 - Adds ID values for the ad7170, ad7171, ad7780 and ad7781 for ID
   status bits checking;
 - Moves regulator initialization to after GPIO init to maintain
   consistency between probe and remove;
 - Copyright edits, adding SPDX identifier and new copyright holder;
 - Moves the ad7780 driver out of staging to the mainline;
 - Adds device tree binding for the ad7780 driver.

 - SPDX and regulator init as patches
 - Renamed filter to odr and ad778x_filter to ad778x_odr_avail
 - Removed unnecessary regulator disabling
 - Removed unnecessary AD_SD_CHANNEL macro
 - Changed unsigned int to unsigned long long to avoid overflow
*v4
 - Split gain & filter patch into two, with the new commit adding only
   filter reading
