Thanks! Since the patch would touch both IIO and I2C I assume I would
submit it to both mailinglists. And that whichever maintainer gets to
it first would just give their Reviewed-by (if all looks good) and the
second applies the Signed-off-by and handles the merge?

I'll work on the updated combined patch...
