This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: iio: ad5933: fix type mismatch regression
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: staging: iio: ad5933: fix type mismatch regression
Commit 4c3577db3e4f ("Staging: iio: impedance-analyzer: Fix sparse
warning") fixed a compiler warning, but introduced a bug that resulted
in one of the two 16 bit IIO channels always being zero (when both are
enabled).
This is because int is 32 bits wide on most architectures and in the
case of a little-endian machine the two most significant bytes would
occupy the buffer for the second channel as 'val' is being passed as a
void pointer to 'iio_push_to_buffers()'.
Fix by defining 'val' as u16. Tested working on ARM64.
