This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
iio: light: fix kconfig dependency bug for VCNL4035
to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-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.

When VCNL4035 is enabled and IIO_BUFFER is disabled, it results in the following Kbuild warning:
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for IIO_TRIGGERED_BUFFER Depends on [n]: IIO [=y] && IIO_BUFFER [=n] Selected by [y]: - VCNL4035 [=y] && IIO [=y] && I2C [=y]
The reason is that VCNL4035 selects IIO_TRIGGERED_BUFFER without depending on or selecting IIO_BUFFER while IIO_TRIGGERED_BUFFER depends on IIO_BUFFER. This can also fail building the kernel.
Honor the kconfig dependency to remove unmet direct dependency warnings and avoid any potential build failures.
