I don't know how the armsoc people feel about routing other subsystem changes 
through armsoc, but I think small dts changes coming through driver trees is 
the more common case, so personally I'd think patches 1,3 and 4 could go 
through the iio tree.

Patch 2 of course isn't material for stable, as it adds new functionality, so 
I'd pick that up directly, especially as we see numerous rk3399 changes, so 
that would be prone to conflict.
