This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled iio: adc: meson-saradc: fix potential crash in to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 103a07d4278203d6299798cd74cdc4d209801cac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Blumenstingl <martin.blumenstingl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 4 Jun 2017 15:28:23 +0200 Subject: iio: adc: meson-saradc: fix potential crash in meson_sar_adc_clear_fifo meson_sar_adc_clear_fifo passes a 0 as value-pointer to regmap_read(). In case of the meson-saradc driver this ends up in regmap_mmio_read(), where the value-pointer is de-referenced unconditionally to assign the value which was read. Fix this by passing an actual pointer, even though all we want to do is to discard the value. As a side-effect this fixes a sparse warning ("Using plain integer as NULL pointer") as reported by Paolo Cretaro.
