This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
iio: core: check return value when calling dev_set_name()
to my char-misc git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git
in the char-misc-next 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 also be merged in the next major kernel release
during the merge window.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: iio: core: check return value when calling dev_set_name()
I got a null-ptr-deref report when doing fault injection test:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
RIP: 0010:strlen+0x0/0x20
Call Trace:
start_creating+0x199/0x2f0
debugfs_create_dir+0x25/0x430
__iio_device_register+0x4da/0x1b40 [industrialio]
__devm_iio_device_register+0x22/0x80 [industrialio]
max1027_probe+0x639/0x860 [max1027]
spi_probe+0x183/0x210
really_probe+0x285/0xc30
If dev_set_name() fails, the dev_name() is null, check the return
value of dev_set_name() to avoid the null-ptr-deref.
