Just goes to show I focused on the change log and skipped the rest :)
As you have it here is fine though change log could have mentioned the
extra patch as well even if just "Rebased to linux-next + devm patch."

In this case linux-next is close enough for this driver to the
iio/togreg tree that it doesn't matter that it shouldn't be used as a base
(no impact in this particular case I think).

Anyhow, all good. I noticed I'd misinterpreted what you'd done here
when I saw the context in one of the patches.  oops :)
