This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
iio: addac: stx104: Fix race condition for stx104_write_raw()
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-testing 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 be merged to the char-misc-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: iio: addac: stx104: Fix race condition for stx104_write_raw()
The priv->chan_out_states array and actual DAC value can become
mismatched if stx104_write_raw() is called concurrently. Prevent such a
race condition by utilizing a mutex.
Fixes: 97a445dad37a ("iio: Add IIO support for the DAC on the Apex Embedded Systems STX104")
