I'd just like to note for future reference that I would prefer Samuels approach of such a branch for future cases where things touch on iio and another subsystem. Now as I've expressed I am happy with this set going through mfd but there is never anything wrong with agreeing how things 'should' be done ;) > AFAICT, only patch #2 should be kept with input and iio bits mixed > together with MFD as otherwise this would introduce functional breakage. > Otherwise, all MFD bits from the other patches could be either separated > or merged together (e.g. MFD bits from patches #6 and #8, and #16 and > #17). > > Does that sound doable to you ? > > Cheers, > Samuel. >
