As a side note, whilst it doesn't always happen and I regularly forget
to fix it up whilst applying, it's really helpful to make sure the driver
name is somewhere in the patch title.

e.g. iio: adc: ad7606: add HAS_IOPORT dependencies.

It falls under the Analog devices catch all.
We don't list them all individually because there are a lot of them and
it would just be noise in many case.

I'll leave it to the Lars or Michael to confirm what is going on here.
