For the series, except the DT binding, I haven't even opened that mail.
Also you can add Suggested-by to the selected patches.

You do like to challenge b4! :) Hand removed the tag it added for
the DT patch.

Series applied to the testing branch of iio.git that I'll push
out as togreg once initial build tests are in etc.

Thanks,

It's optional so I guess it doesn't matter, but whether this supply is
needed of not is down to whether the SoC allows for pull up on the
interrupt and I2C lines.  Some SoCs provide this (though it's been
a while since I used one that did.).

In other cases an external pull up is needed. It would feel
odd to provide a supply for the pull up it was all hidden in the SoC.

Anyhow, optional so we aren't forcing this anyway.
