Hi Miquel,
Make sure to +cc driver authors on v2.
Whilst I think this is safe we should definitely give them visibility.
Obviously some IIO drivers probably have authors who have long moved on
but this one is only 2018 vintage so Song Qiang might still have
access to hardware or be willing to do a review!
