git merge --no-fork-point is unknown option

[MarkusDost]

In the README.md it is stated, that the driver code can be merged with the target kernel source with

git merge --no-fork-point linux-5.4.y stmems_iio_github/master

The command git merge doesn't know the option --no-fork-point (https://git-scm.com/docs/git-merge)

While most of the git parameters do not change, some does. The git version you are using (probably) uses the option --allow-unrelated-histories for achieving the same.

git merge --allow-unrelated-histories linux-5.4.y stmems_iio_github/master
