Are we sure this should all be going through the staging tree still? How about char/misc now? How can I comment on the chrdev stuff here in a way that will reach the proper developers? Is this the correct thread: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1632884256.git.vilhelm.gray@xxxxxxxxx/ And why does this have to go through the iio tree? The IIO stuff looks fine, any way to send me a pull request with just those changes now? And again, should we reconsider just sending all of this through the char/misc tree now that you have really outgrown the staging tree? thanks, greg k-h
