I plan to send configfs-allow-dynamic-group-creation.patch to Linus
this week.  I'll retain 

iio-core-introduce-iio-configfs-support.patch
iio-core-introduce-iio-software-triggers.patch
iio-core-introduce-iio-software-triggers-fix.patch
iio-trigger-introduce-iio-hrtimer-based-trigger.patch
iio-documentation-add-iio-configfs-documentation.patch

with a view to dropping them once I see them turn up in linux-next.
