And then the final parts can be submitted to the IIO list as standard. Regarding the DT bindings, I'm afraid you will have to make them in YAML format. Just be aware of this. This is a recent change to DT bindings. I'm also trying out this new YAML thingi [for personal curiosity]. They don't look too difficult, but they are a bit weird.
