SubjectRe: [PATCH v6 00/24] iio: core,buffer: add support for multiple IIO buffers per IIO device

Hi Alex,

One thought on this that came up whilst reading through it again.
There are several uses for multiple buffers.
1) input vs output buffers
2) A device with separately clocked sampling of different channels.

For case 2, there is at least sometimes a trigger involved
(often data ready) so we probably also need to think long term about how
to support multiple current_triggers in one driver.

I guess that's something for us to figure out when we need it however.

Thanks for you hard work on finally getting this upstream.
+ Lars (and maybe others) for earlier work on this.

Whilst I've applied all these, they are only exposed in the testing branch
of iio.git on kernel.org so far and as such any additional review anyone
else wants to give would be welcome!
