From: Srinivas Pandruvada <srinivas.pandruvada@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch does NOT apply to the 3.12 stable tree. If you still want it applied, please provide a backport. =============== commit 78b3321610bf920d7fceb1a0236faa881be0bcf3 upstream. When event spec is shared by multiple channels, which has definition for mask_shared_by_type, iio_device_register_eventset fails. For example: static const struct iio_event_spec iio_dummy_events[] = { { .type = IIO_EV_TYPE_THRESH, .dir = IIO_EV_DIR_RISING, .mask_separate = BIT(IIO_EV_INFO_ENABLE), .mask_shared_by_type = BIT(IIO_EV_INFO_VALUE), }, { .type = IIO_EV_TYPE_THRESH, .dir = IIO_EV_DIR_FALLING, .mask_separate = BIT(IIO_EV_INFO_ENABLE),a .mask_shared_by_type = BIT(IIO_EV_INFO_VALUE), } }; If two channels use this event spec, this will result in error. This change handles EBUSY error similar to iio_device_add_info_mask_type().
