This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled iio: adc: mcp320x: Fix oops on module unload 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 0964e40947a630a2a6f724e968246992f97bcf1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lukas Wunner <lukas@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2017 15:33:00 +0200 Subject: iio: adc: mcp320x: Fix oops on module unload The driver calls spi_get_drvdata() in its ->remove hook even though it has never called spi_set_drvdata().
