Re: [PATCH 1/3] iio: drop timestamp parameter in push_to_buffer() and store_to()

Hello,

> This commit message needs a explanation why they should be dropped.

thanks for looking at this!

the patch is moreless a reminder:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-iio/msg06102.html

the timestamp parameter should be dropped because it is not used; there 
can be a timestamp channel and providing an additional timestamp when 
pushing the buffer is confusing

I know; I split it up to clearly show what the fundamental change is, and 
how it affects drivers -- for submission it should be one patch

regards, p.
