For future reference, please never reply to an existing thread with 
a new version of a patch.  I'm a bit confused why this one keeps
coming up as I'm not aware of any part of the kernel that requests
doing it this way.  Reasons not to do this:
1) Confusing threads once they get sufficient numbers of replies, including
   making it harder for tooling to work out what is going on.
2) Reviewers and maintainers tend to use mail clients that put replies
   to old threads, somewhere back in history, so the chances of getting
   a review is reduced.

Anyhow, don't resend existing patches to 'fix this' but make sure
to do new threads, if you send out any new versions.

This looks fine to me so applied to the fixes-togreg branch of iio.git
Note that branch will be rebased on rc1 once it is available.

Thanks,

Jonathan
