As this is however a staging driver (and depends on IIO, which is a staging infrastructure), I suggest you resend the patch to staging maintainers so that it gets applied and we can work on polishing the driver there. Also, what are the plans regarding moving IIO out of staging, please? -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
