Sure, I will drop this tag from all patches in this series.

Although tag was added in all patches of series as he mentioned Acked-by on your proposal of catch all common entry.

I'm assuming that to avoid de-bounce issues from *@analog.com domain, we are adding linux@analog.com mailing list as primary contact. with that in mind, this series drops all entries which match the wildcard and have analog domain maintainer or reviewer while keeping the rest as unchanged.

Additionally, When David is list as reviewer in individual driver entries, I consider as redundant part; All IIO subsystem drivers/iio* already covered by top level entry, which includes Andy and David as reviewer.

Summary of changes in series:
- analog domain specific entries are dropped and catch with linux@analog.com under ADI IIO section.
- Non analog devices reviewers and maintainer is unchanged for each driver entry.

Further, I also agree with adding Nuno Sá as a maintainer in the top-level ADI IIO entry, so that all drivers are maintained via the mailing list with his oversight.
