There has been a long term reluctance to pin down DT bindings for drivers that are known to not be in a suitable state for long term maintenance etc. So I'd skip adding bindings for these. Also they tend to be far from what I'd call cleanup patches! Some of those staging/iio drivers will probably get dropped at somepoint so before doing any more major work on them, please send an email to check they are still of interest! Your email motivated me to take a quick look. The accel/adis16240 is now marked obsolete at https://www.analog.com/en/products/adis16240.html I'll send out a patch shortly to suggest we drop that one as unlikely anyone will expend work on a part that is getting hard to get. The other drivers all cover at least 1 supported part. Jonathan > > Regards, > Siddharth Menon >
