Hi Sandhya,

'cc-ing outreachy group...

I see that you got your kernelnewbies access working.  Great!

The sparse warnings in these drivers were not related to Endianess,
so they don't need to be claimed here.  The IIO claims here will only be
for Coding Task 2 - IIO Endianess work.

I do see that you've submitted the patches upstream already, so you'll
need to follow up on those as needed with the IIO maintainer.

Gentle reminder - try to stick to drivers/staging/ patches. 

The exception is for IIO Coding Task 2 Endianess issues. We are not
intending to go upstream in general.  That is, we won't go looking
for sparse and checkpatch fixes to do upstream now.

Let me know if this isn't clear.  You are out front on some of this, so
if it's not clear to you, it probably won't be clear to others, and I
want to fix that.

Thanks,
alisons
