This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
leds: lp5523: check return value of lp5xx_read and jump to cleanup
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.

Check return value of lp5xx_read and if non-zero, jump to code at end of the function, causing lp5523_stop_all_engines to be executed before returning the error value up the call chain. This fixes the original commit (248b57015f35) which was reverted due to the University of Minnesota problems.
