This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    iio: adxl372: Fix unsafe buffer attributes

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: adxl372: Fix unsafe buffer attributes

The iio_triggered_buffer_setup_ext() was changed by
commit 15097c7a1adc ("iio: buffer: wrap all buffer attributes into iio_dev_attr")
to silently expect that all attributes given in buffer_attrs array are
device-attributes. This expectation was not forced by the API - and some
drivers did register attributes created by IIO_CONST_ATTR().

The added attribute "wrapping" does not copy the pointer to stored
string constant and when the sysfs file is read the kernel will access
to invalid location.

Change the IIO_CONST_ATTRs from the driver to IIO_DEVICE_ATTR in order
to prevent the invalid memory access.
