Given the comments that 'need' any response are fairly minor, I've just
taken the view that the perfect is the enemy of the good and applied
it to the togreg branch of iio.git with some really small tweaks.
Thanks for offering to tidy this up Linus, but seems like it would be
a waste of your time for such trivial tweaks!
The only one outstanding that I haven't 'fixed' is the question I raised
on face down or face up when talking about flat on the ground.
That might want a clarifying comment.
Applied to the togreg branch of iio.git and pushed out as testing
for the autobuilders to play with it (or not as the case may be!)
Thanks,
Jonathan
