Hi Kevin,

Few comments:

1) Please also add a cover letter. Use --cover-letter parameter of git
format-patch.
2) Please create a patch for each logical change. Your current 1/6
patch should be
split in several small patches:
 * 1/6 iio: light: cm32181: Update company name
 * 2/6 iio: light: cm32181: Remove unused include files
 * etc.
3) Please use specific wordings for commit subject. A subject like this:

"Updated Vishay Capella cm32181 ambient light sensor driver" doesn't say much.

thanks,
Daniel.
