This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

iio: adc: mcp3422: fix locking scope

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.

Locking should be held for the entire reading sequence involving setting the channel, waiting for the channel switch and reading from the channel. If not, reading from a channel can result mixing with the reading from another channel.
