Greg,

I've cc'd you to let you know that this fix causes an ABI change for
one driver. Technically that driver actually matched with the current documentation,
just the documentation was misleading and lots of drivers have ended up with
the reverse interpretation (question was whether proximity values get larger
or smaller as you get nearer).

Anyhow, given timing I doubt the pull request will reach you until after the
merge window. I am also going to mark this for stable to cover the 4.0 and 4.1
kernels that have this driver in them.

Hope that's fine!

Applied to the fixes-togreg branch of iio.git

Daniel, thanks for clearing this mess up and checking through all the drivers
and datasheets to figure out it was only this one!

Jonathan
