This has already been queued up for v2. Adding these seemed easy at the time but they are in fact not used, and I ended up sending the wrong patch. Just so that we're on the same page: only ADC5_AMUX_THM3 and ADC5_GPIO2_100K_PU are unused by my platform. It seems the first should be dropped, but the latter can probably stay in the patch with an explicit mention. If you think both should stay, there are a bunch more channels defined in the downstream kernel as per [1] and I'm not sure if all should be added for completeness. > > > > [1]: https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/la/kernel/msm-4.14/tree/drivers/iio/adc/qcom-spmi-adc5.c?h=LA.UM.7.11.r1-05200-NICOBAR.0#n688 > > > > Signed-off-by: Marijn Suijten <marijn.suijten@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > Reviewed-by: AngeloGioacchino Del Regno <angelogioacchino.delregno@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > I'm not keen on patches with no context being > sent to mailing lists.

Somehow only `git send-email` supports --cc-cmd yet I'd expect it on `git format-patch` for auditing and possibly copying to the cover letter, if `git format-patch --cover-letter` couldn't do this from the beginning. At the same time `git send-email` has --[to/cc]-cover options to propagate email addresses from the cover letter to all the individual patch-replies, but not the inverse :( In the end this leaves me manually running get_maintainer.pl over the entire formatted patch-series, and manually copy-pasting + editing the addresses into the cover letter... Which is easy to forget and is no different here. My apologies for (yet again) accidentally not sending at least the cover letter to everyone. That's a gross oversight, and I'm probably - no, I must - be doing something wrong. Suggestions and/or documentation references are welcome. > If nothing else, I've no idea if intent is that the patches go through different > trees or all need to merge via one route. I have no idea either, and have not yet had an answer to a similar question on a different list. Usually it seems the maintainers work out amongst themselves who picks what patch, putting them on hold where necessary to preseve ordering. If not, should the sender split patches across multiple series, either holding off sending part of it or linking to a dependent series? In this particular case DT has to wait for these driver patches to land, otherwise they may define channels that do not exist and unnecessarily fail probe. > Patch itself looks fine, Thanks.
