Hello,

This patch was merged into Linus' tree as commit ca8d8e03b4c9 ("iio:
104-quad-8: Fix off-by-one error when addressing flag register"). This
fix should be merged into the 4.10 stable tree as well to fix an
off-by-one error which causes garbage data to be read as count values --
effectively preventing proper usage of the driver.

This patch fixes commit 28e5d3bb0325 ("iio: 104-quad-8: Add IIO support
for the ACCES 104-QUAD-8").

Thank you,

William Breathitt Gray
