I'm not sure sashiko ever looks beyond mainline and given recent general
comments from Linus about only sending him late cycle fixes for stuff
that went wrong this cycle or is a major issue (which I've been interpreting
as applying after rc4) I'm not thinking these fixes will go upstream before
the merge window. I don't mind applying them to the togreg branch now but
that isn't currently picked up by sashiko.

My biggest current issue with these bots is they make the workflow
of nibbling away at patch sets like I traditionally did not work
so well. One option is to just send the whole series but edit
the titles to say they are already applied? Hopefully that
lets reviewers jump over them or even maybe filter them out?

Anyhow, let me queue some of these. I doubt we'll see anything new
from sashiko given the minor tweaks the rest of this series.

So with that in mind, applied patches in this order
1 2 4 5
held 6 back for the thing about checking if property present.
3 7 8 with link dropped.

So just 6 9 and 10 for next version please.

All the above on the testing branch of iio.git.

Thanks,

Jonathan
