Note that, like any tag, reviewed-by tags must be provided by the person
who did the review.  It's nice to acknowledge reviewers, but there is
a certain "I'm happy with the result of my review" that is associated
with a reviewed-by tag.

Marked for stable and applied to the fixes-togreg branch of iio.git

Thanks,

Jonathan
