Can you also help me out with the git tree I should use to format the
patches? As per my understanding it is the subsystem maintainer tree
and the main branch but the macros and functions which you have suggested
in other reviews are available in Linux mainline.
For a new driver it rarely matters and I'd advise simply using
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
which is the mainline tree. Please base either on the previous
release (currently 6.2) or rc1 of the current release (v6.3-rc1)
if doing this.
If you need a feature that has only been applied in the same cycle, or
are building on recent work that has been applied to the iio tree then
for fixes you want:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio.git fixes-togreg
for new stuff you want:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio.git togreg
The IIO tree routes through Greg KH's char-misc tree so will see the togreg
branch move forwards to be based on that as Greg takes pull requests from me.
Usually this happens once or twice a kernel cycle. Don't worry too much about
this. If it should affect a patch because some changes crossed I'll generally
fix it up whilst applying whichever gets applied second and ask the
authors to check I didn't make a mistake.
