Hi Vlad!

I am contacting with you because you have Acked a recent linux-iio patch
submission adding BME280 sensor support:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio.git/commit/?h=testing&id=14beaa8f5ab11b881c5e822e2474f5278d0946d5

I am involved in kernel development for Pyra Handheld project
(http://pyra-handheld.com/). Bosch BME280 chip is amongst peripherals
included on Pyra's mainboard. There are some more Bosch sensor chips
included. We want to express our thankfulness for a great work by Intel,
and to ask for more :)

The only sensor chip which Pyra mainboard features and which lacks a
driver in recent upstream kernel is BNO055. So we dare to ask - is there
any work in progress on driver for this chip in your team, even on
earliest stage? We are interested to give it a run in testing and work
on improvements.

If you are interested to follow the kernel development of Pyra device,
then you are more than welcome to do so, and you can add yourself to
these maillists:

 - kernel at pyra-handheld.com (mailman setup with broken web part, you need
to send email to kernel-join at pyra-handheld.com to subscribe).

Looking forward for your reply! Thanks in advance for any helpful
comment!
