Hi Srishti,

I've merged the two patches as they're trivial and the commit message is
the same.

It's entirely reasonable to have a patch per driver but you should mention
that in the commit message (subject line) at least. This case is a bit
special because the other driver is also specific to the atomisp staging
driver.

Thanks.
