Normally there is a short (typically around one week, a little longer when merge windows
are open or about to open) gap between when I pick a patch up and inclusion in linux-next
(that includes the togreg branch of the above tree).  The reason for that is to provide an
opportunity for early feedback from 0-day on any build issues etc before making a mess of Linux next.
That automation runs against the test branch of iio.git.
