[linux-yocto] [PATCH 0/2] iio: Set correct iio name

[Yong Li]

Hi Bruce Saul,

I had submitted the patches into Kernel mail list, the concern is the
legacy application compatibility:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-iio/index.html#24331

For the Ostro OS, Using Soletta framrwork, we have tested/verified
more more than 30 different I2C
devices(https://ostroproject.org/documentation/hardware/sensors.html).
But only the two devices have incorrect device names(the IIO name does
not match the I2C device name). QA team think it is a bug

Thanks,
Yong
