Cool, I'll do them in a few mins.

Input?  Ambient Light sensors subsystem makes sense. Input certainly 
does not (and will get copious NAKs). I was beginning to doubt that ALS
will get sorted out in time for the next merge window (or that the
various drivers would get moved across in time), hence this patch to
clear up a bit of a mess and a lot of pointless code in IIO as Greg has
already taken your driver into the staging tree.

Sure, that's fine with me, though given the wonders of staging, you may
well find a 3rd party submits patches for your driver in the meantime ;)

Thanks,

Jonathan
