This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
iio:accel:bma180: rearrange iio trigger get and register
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-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.

Subject: iio:accel:bma180: rearrange iio trigger get and register
IIO trigger interface function iio_trigger_get() should be called after
iio_trigger_register() (or its devm analogue) strictly, because of
iio_trigger_get() acquires module refcnt based on the trigger->owner
pointer, which is initialized inside iio_trigger_register() to
THIS_MODULE.
If this call order is wrong, the next iio_trigger_put() (from sysfs
callback or "delete module" path) will dereference "default" module
refcnt, which is incorrect behaviour.
