Good find.  Strange that got through 0-day without a warning...

Cc'd Brian as author of the fix this is fixing.
Brian can you sanity check this patch as well.

Applied to the fixes-togreg branch of iio.git and marked for stable.
Ah well, another one for the statistics on stable patches that introduce bugs while

Pretty unlikely this will be hit I think, but in theory you never know.
