Subject: Re: [PATCH v5 0/4] iio: Add support for rotation from north

Hey Srinivas,

I did look into the panic you sent. I wasn't sure exactly what caused
the NULL pointer.
I tested it with out applying the last rotation from north patch, so
no hid usages are found, my device only has rotation_from_north, and
hid_parse_report() would return -EINVAL.
I added another check to make sure a iio channel were set up, and
return -EINVAL if not, but couldn't think of anything else.

Could you test this version with dynamic debugging and see if it is
finding any hid usage attributes.
Any ideas what could cause this? I think I'm handling errors properly
by returning what parse_report returns (-EINVAL or -ENOMEM) in probe

Thanks,
Reyad Attiyat
