Series looks fine to me, but I'll leave the on list for a few days to let others have time to take a look. Worth noting that some of these are crying out for use of devm_add_action_or_reset() and getting rid of the remove functions entirely now you've dropped the oddity of them returning non 0. Low hanging fruit for any newbies who want to do it, or maybe I will if I get bored :) Thanks, Jonathan > > > > > Best regards > > Uwe > > > > Uwe Kleine-König (9): > > iio:accel:mc3230: Remove duplicated error reporting in .remove() > > iio:accel:stk8312: Remove duplicated error reporting in .remove() > > iio:accel:stk8ba50: Remove duplicated error reporting in .remove() > > iio:light:bh1780: Remove duplicated error reporting in .remove() > > iio:light:isl29028: Remove duplicated error reporting in .remove() > > iio:light:jsa1212: Remove duplicated error reporting in .remove() > > iio:light:opt3001: Remove duplicated error reporting in .remove() > > iio:light:stk3310: Remove duplicated error reporting in .remove() > > iio:light:tsl2583: Remove duplicated error reporting in .remove() > > > > drivers/iio/accel/mc3230.c | 4 +++- > > drivers/iio/accel/stk8312.c | 4 +++- > > drivers/iio/accel/stk8ba50.c | 4 +++- > > drivers/iio/light/bh1780.c | 7 +++---- > > drivers/iio/light/isl29028.c | 4 +++- > > drivers/iio/light/jsa1212.c | 4 +++- > > drivers/iio/light/opt3001.c | 3 +-- > > drivers/iio/light/stk3310.c | 5 ++++- > > drivers/iio/light/tsl2583.c | 4 +++- > > 9 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) > > > > > > base-commit: 3123109284176b1532874591f7c81f3837bbdc17 >
