[yes, I know, bad-email format, but I wanted this to come from my work email]

Apologies also for the delay here. Things pile-up on my side and I defer things a bit.

Talked to Michael Hennerich about this [since he's the more senior contact at Analog].
We can replace the email from Beniamin Bia with Michael's.
Or, we can remove the "Orphan" blocks and just have the catch-all "drivers/iio/*/ad*" cover this driver and others that were upstreamed by Beniamin.

Either option is fine from us.

Sure, good point. I wanted to start the discussion so the interested people might appear.

Best regards,
