RE: [PATCH] dt-bindings: iio: imu: SMI240: add bosch,smi240.yaml

[Shen Jianping (ME-SE/EAD2)]

Hello Jonathan,

Thank you for the explanation !   We will construct the patch-set as you suggested. 

Since the rework of the driver still takes some time, we will send the new version once we finish it.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Jianping Shen

To add a little more detail.
We are looking for a cover letter and a pair of patches.
1st adds the dt-binding docs.
2nd provides the driver.

The cover letter provides a brief summary of the whole series and provides a convenient name for tracking it as a whole.

Take a look at how other recent driver addition patch series have been broken up.
