Quick summary of IIO status. Nothing is in mainline yet. Intent is to
get the first set of core code (including in kernel pull interfaces)
into linux-next fairly shortly (these have had enough postive feedback
now I think). Doing push interfaces (as I think we would need here) is
possible with existing patches on top of the stuff in the iio staging
tree but there are some 'interesting' cases where both push and pull
interfaces exist that still need addressing.
Also, note the push interface stuff (e.g. interrupt driven) requires a
lot more of the IIO infrastructure to be in place (buffered support and
the demux unit) so may still be some time. Personally my time is
currently very restricted so all the help anyone can offer is most welcome!
