This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
iio: adc: xilinx-xadc: Don't clobber preset voltage/temperature
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: adc: xilinx-xadc: Don't clobber preset voltage/temperature
thresholds
In the probe function, the driver was reading out the thresholds already
set in the core, which can be configured by the user in the Vivado tools
when the FPGA image is built. However, it later clobbered those values
with zero or maximum values. In particular, the overtemperature shutdown
threshold register was overwritten with the max value, which effectively
prevents the FPGA from shutting down when the desired threshold was
eached, potentially risking hardware damage in that case.
Remove this code to leave the preconfigured default threshold values
intact.
The code was also disabling all alarms regardless of what enable state
they were left in by the FPGA image, including the overtemperature
shutdown feature. Leave these bits in their original state so they are
not unconditionally disabled.
