Original plan was to send Linus a pull request for the basic core support and 'pull' in-kernel interfaces. When I backported the 'pull' in-kernel interfaces to the staging tree (for speed they had been developed against the simpler core support rather than the main version of IIO in staging - seemed a good idea at the time), Greg KH took a look and has raised some significant issues that we still need to address. The sticky point is a disagreement about the best means of handling mappings between channels on a child device and the IIO device. Hence I have no intention of sending Linus a pull request for moving any of IIO out of staging until these issues have been sorted out. Saddly my time has now become rather more restricted so I am taking longer to persue these issues. Things aren't too bad as others have stepped up to assist with the day to day burden of patch review and work on the staging tree (thanks!). Anyhow there have been lots of nice cleanups of the staging tree and new work there, so it's not as though things aren't progressing. They merely aren't going entirely according to plan! Lots of good work coming from Lars-Peter at ADI in particular. We also have our first SoC adc driver from Maxime Ripard and some TI discrete device support from Duss Pirmin. Thanks Jonathan
