This is not a meaningfully bisectable patch.

It should go with the addition of the driver. Its good practice to break 
up incremental changes to a driver in a series but, I don't see why you 
really need to do that when adding a whole new driver.

Just

- Documentation
- Bindings
- Driver code

On the other hand if you were switching on IRIS in the default defconfig 
then that should be a separate patch.

If we were say adding inter-frame power-collapse to the existing venus 
as part of a series, then that makes sense as a standalone patch but IMO 
when adding a whole new driver, add it as one.

Its easier to read that way
