This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled iio: adc: mcp3422: fix locking scope 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 3f1093d83d7164e4705e4232ccf76da54adfda85 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Angelo Compagnucci <angelo.compagnucci@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2020 09:55:25 +0200 Subject: iio: adc: mcp3422: fix locking scope Locking should be held for the entire reading sequence involving setting the channel, waiting for the channel switch and reading from the channel. If not, reading from a channel can result mixing with the reading from another channel.
