IIO: ownership of patches taking drivers out of staging.

Hi All,

I'm putting together a patch set to propose the first step in moving IIO out of the staging tree.

I want to take a small set (initially) of representative drivers along for the ride.

Now unlike later elements which will consist of git moves (and hence preserve history) those that come with us now will be done by stripping down the drivers and then building their feature set back up as we go.

My question here is whether people are happy if I assign authorship of patches for their drivers to them (with appropriate note and sign off from me to explain where they came from).

Right now my example set consists of

ad799x - Michael's
max1363 - mine :)
tsl2583 - Amit's
adis16400 - Manuel's but with large bits from drivers of mine
and Barry Song. I'm fine with it being Manuel's. Copyright notice covers that some of it is Analog's so, Michael, is that fine with you guys?

So I need responses from Amit, Michael and Manuel as to whether they mind me setting author of relevant drivers to them? I'd obviously also like sign offs once you have had time to look at them. I'll post an updated tree shortly to github.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hi Jonathon,

I'm fine with that. Of course we could also change ownership for adis16400 to Michael, as I don't have the time to actively support this one.
I have a few others in the pipeline (lis331dlh, itg3200) that I will publish as soon as we have a stable API in mainline.

Regards,
Manuel

Yes, that'd be fine. I'll try to test out the changes/moves as we go but I won't be close to HW and a reliable internet connection over the next few weeks.
