Subject: [PATCH 3.16 017/134] staging: iio: tsl2x7x_core: Fix standard
 deviation calculation

3.16.47-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eva Rachel Retuya <eraretuya@...il.com>

commit cf6c77323a96fc40309cc8a4921ef206cccdd961 upstream.

Standard deviation is calculated as the square root of the variance
where variance is the mean of sample_sum and length. Correct the
computation of statP->stddev in accordance to the proper calculation.
