Hi Srinivas,

Thanks for this patch series. I've got an HP Spectre x360 G2
(skylake), and I've built a 4.6.0 kernel with this driver patched in.
It detects the sensors hub, and creates IIO devices under
/sys/bus/iio/devices:

$ ls /sys/bus/iio/devices/
iio:device0  iio:device1  iio:device2  iio:device3  iio:device4
iio:device5  iio:device6  iio:device7  iio:device8  iio:device9
trigger0  trigger1  trigger2  trigger3  trigger4  trigger5  trigger6
trigger7  trigger8  trigger9

However, I haven't figured out how to test it yet. (This is the first
time I'm working with IIO). Do you have any test code or test
procedures to show if it is working?

Thanks,
g.
