This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
iio: accel: st_accel: Fix invalid mount_matrix on devices without
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: st_accel: Fix invalid mount_matrix on devices without
ACPI _ONT method
When apply_acpi_orientation() fails, st_accel_common_probe() will fall back
to iio_read_mount_matrix(), which checks for a mount-matrix device property
and if that is not set falls back to the identity matrix.
But when a sensor has no ACPI companion fwnode, or when the ACPI fwnode
does not have a "_ONT" method apply_acpi_orientation() was returning 0,
causing iio_read_mount_matrix() to never get called resulting in an
invalid mount_matrix:
[root@fedora ~]# cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device0/mount_matrix
(null), (null), (null); (null), (null), (null); (null), (null), (null)
Fix this by making apply_acpi_orientation() always return an error when
it did not set the mount_matrix.
Fixes: 3d8ad94bb175 ("iio: accel: st_sensors: Support generic mounting matrix")
