Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2014 13:37:26 -0700 From: Kamal Mostafa <kamal@...onical.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, stable@...r.kernel.org, kernel-team@...ts.ubuntu.com Cc: Adam Thomson <Adam.Thomson.Opensource@...semi.com>, Jonathan Cameron <jic23@...nel.org>, Kamal Mostafa <kamal@...onical.com> Subject: [PATCH 3.13 023/259] iio: of_iio_channel_get_by_name() returns non-null pointers for error legs 3.13.11.6 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Adam Thomson <Adam.Thomson.Opensource@...semi.com> commit a2c12493ed7e63a18cef33a71686d12ffcd6600e upstream. Currently in the inkern.c code for IIO framework, the function of_iio_channel_get_by_name() will return a non-NULL pointer when it cannot find a channel using of_iio_channel_get() and when it tries to search for 'io-channel-ranges' property and fails. This is incorrect behaviour as the function which calls this expects a NULL pointer for failure. This patch rectifies the issue.
