Don't be so hard on yourself. We all get thrown in at the deep end :)

Note that being a driver maintainer (or even just the binding) really
just means you get cc'd on the patches and I'll make sure you've had time
to review them if you wish. Best of all, if you have hardware (and time)
being able to test them, that is extremely useful (whether you are
maintaining the driver or not!)

I closely review the majority of stuff that comes through IIO and in
the case of bindings we also have Rob and co. doing an amazing job.
We have some excellent additional reviewers who review IIO stuff all the
time, some of which have reviewed your patch I see. Without them I'd
never survive the deluge.

Of course it's entirely your decision, but I'd definitely encourage you
to give it a go.

Thanks,

Jonathan
