Not to worry ;) I was just taking advantage to drop in a plug. It's certainly going slower than I would like and I'm fully in favour of drivers going into misc or similar even if we would like to eventually take them into IIO. This is part of the reason we have been trying to pin down interface naming etc in a more general forum than our internal list.

Yup, Dmitry has softened somewhat on this point for device where it really can be argued that input is the key feature (typically the ones being used for exactly this purpose in smart phones) in recent months so things may have changed.
