Applied to the togreg branch of iio.git and pushed out as testing for
0-day to see if we missed anything!

I couldn't resist hitting lore.kernel.org for some archaeology on whether
this broke records for a series on the IIO list (i.e. one I'd actually
reviewed :)

It has the dubious honour of being the only series to reach v17 that has
been posted to linux-iio@vger.kernel.org as far as records go back.

Peter Rosin's MUX series got to v15 and that seems to be the previous
record holder joint with an mxs-lradc set from a while back.

Perhaps not a record you wanted to get, but it shows impressive grit
and determination!
