Just to clear any confusion: this wasn't a criticism from my side. I understand why it takes time. All I mean is that it is not reasonable to delay other changes waiting for IIO to hit mainline.

I seem to recall he objected to them going to input, on the basis that the input function was a not the key feature. But apparently we have one accel driver in drivers/input/misc (adxl34x) so maybe we can have more. -- Jean Delvare
