thanks, i'll take a look there.
and i will try and figure out how to get git sendmail to work, i know i had 
problems last time i used it.

i will refresh my patch and also move the module from Other to IIO sub menu 
since that's where it belongs.

one more question, in the case of htu21 it depends on another module, 
ms_sensors_i2c and as i wrote the patch they both get included in the same package.
right now i don't think any other kernel module package uses ms_sensors_i2c.
is it ok to put both modules in same package or should i make ms_sensors_i2c go 
in its own package with a dependency between them?
