I don't know why this is RFC and cover letter does not explain it. Shall
I just ignore it? Patch is no ready? Recently at least two times someone
was disappointed that his code marked as RFC received my review.

A nit, subject: drop second/last, redundant "DT binding doc for". The
"dt-bindings" prefix is already stating that these are bindings. Four
words entirely redundant and duplicating what prefix is saying...

And what happens with other INT pin? Remains floating?

Missing supplies. Are you sure device does not use any electric energy?

Node names should be generic. See also an explanation and list of
examples (not exhaustive) in DT specification:
https://devicetree-specification.readthedocs.io/en/latest/chapter2-devicetree-basics.html#generic-names-recommendation

It's the same as other example. No difference. Drop.

Thank you for reviewing. This was the sensor's first patch series,
so I initially submitted it as an RFC. I will mark it as "Patch"
in the next series.

Sure I will remove redundant words from the subject line.

Yes, the other pin is unconnected. The driver provides
support for either INT1, INT2, or no interrupt configuration.
I should have added minItems, maxItems, and const,
I will add these in the next series.

Sorry, I missed adding supply, I will add it in the next series.

I intend to utilize the generic term 'imu' (representing the
accelerometer and gyrometer)
even though it's not listed in the generic-names recommendation.
Would this be acceptable?

Sure I will keep only one example.

Have more confidence! RFCs need to have clearly stated questions.
If you don't have any then you are putting forwards driver for review
in ordering to get it merged upstream - so PATCH is appropriate.
As you'll see many IIO drivers go through a 'few' revisions once they
are posted (hopefully not too many!)

Krzysztof is great at reviewing whatever shows up, but in many
cases reviewers won't look at an RFC (unless a big discussion starts) because
they aren't interested in open questions, just code that the author considers
ready.

Thank you for your feedback and guidance. I appreciate
the insight into the RFC process and the importance of
clearly stated questions. I'll keep this in mind when
preparing future submissions.
