4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eva Rachel Retuya <eraretuya@xxxxxxxxx>
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.
Fixes: 3c97c08b5735 ("staging: iio: add TAOS tsl2x7x driver")
