Given I'm not rushing this in, it is going via my togreg tree, so the
rebase wasn't really helpful (thankfully didn't stop it applying).
Would have been fine to send a ping response to the first posting of it.
I was leaving some time for David or Subhajit to have time to take
another look, but guess they are either happy with this or busy.
Applied to the togreg branch of iio.git and pushed out as testing for
all the normal reasons.
