Hi Marcelo,

Some suggestions from my side....

1) Your subject line should look like "Staging: iio: adc:" instead of
"Staging iio/adc:"
This is the pattern that everyone in the Linux Kernel community has to
follow for having consistency around.

2) Your subject line and commit message should be in the imperative
form.

For example :-
Staging: iio: adc: Match alignment with open parenthesis

Similar should be the case for commit message.

3) Try to avoid the word 'fix' as it becomes an easy way for
people to avoid explanation for the patch.
Try giving more information about what you are doing and why are you
doing that.

You can have a look here

Bdw, good try if it's your first patch :)

Thanks

I feel like these are overly nit-picky...

I understand that everyone is picky about different things.  For
example, I have a prefered style for error handling.  So two days ago
there was a new staging driver and it used label name like
"goto kmalloc_failed;" and I looked until I found an error handling bug
and then I said, "Here is a bug, plus your label names are bad."  When
people have bad style but it doesn't lead to bugs then I let them get
away with it.
