This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
iio: accel: bma400: Fix memory leak in bma400_get_steps_reg()
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: bma400: Fix memory leak in bma400_get_steps_reg()
When regmap_bulk_read() fails, it does not free steps_raw,
which will cause a memory leak issue, this patch fixes it.
Fixes: d221de60eee3 ("iio: accel: bma400: Add separate channel for step counter")
