IIO: Merged in v7.2-rc2 + anyone have comments on whether to ask for sashiko emails to the list?

[Jonathan Cameron]

Hi All,

Note that I've just pushed the testing branch out with v7.2-rc2 merged
in.  There were 3 conflicts due to Uwe's work on restructuring the
headers for device_id tables.  Note I haven't (yet anyway) updated
the 7 additions of mod_devicetable.h that crossed with his patch set
as I didn't want to complicate the merge.

For new work this cycle please base either on v7.2-rc2 or on top of
my togreg branch (assuming no problems that will have this merge sometime
later this week). This should only make much difference for new drivers,
or for any IWYU / header improvement patches.

On another topic. Personally I'm reasonably impressed with Sashiko's
feedback. However it is far from perfect and I'm a little concerned
that new folk might not treat it with appropriate caution.

What do people feel about me asking them to enable sending replies 
directly to the list?

Thanks,

Jonathan

Regarding sashiko reviews on the mailing list, because IIO seems to get
plenty of new contributors every cycle I'm also tad concerned that new
contributors will take the sashiko advice every time without putting
enough research into it. It's probably better if someone else (who's
more experienced) looks into the sashiko review and gives them the link
once they can verify as we've been doing previously. On the contrary I'm
not totally opposed to it and I think it would be fairly helpful for
most people.

FWIW, Sashiko has a feature where it can use subsystem-specific prompts.
Perhaps we could add a prompt that advises on current efforts in IIO,
i.e. IWYU, cleanup.h stuff etc. For reference, hwmon already uses this:
