Second this comment - also mark it at least v3 as some of these
patches will be on their 3rd version.

One major advantage of such a series is that a reply to the cover letter
can be used to indicate that someone is giving a tag for all the patches
underneath it.  Right now they'd have to reply to every single email.

So please send a v3 with all the similar IIO patches under a single cover
letter.  Make sure to gather tags from earlier versions.

Thanks,

Jonathan
