Subject: Re: [PATCH] iio: fix memory leak for
 iio_gts_build_avail_scale_table()

Hi Matti,

Thank you for your concern! I haven't used it in my projects yet. I came 
across this issue while using smatch for code analysis. After reviewing 
the code, I noticed a few minor issues. However, I did not realize that 
the patch for the memory leak has already been submitted couple of days 
ago. Apologies for not checking the patches thoroughly and submitting a 
duplicate.

Yours,

-- Zicheng
