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

tools: iio: iio_utils: fix digit calculation

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.

From 72b2aa38191bcba28389b0e20bf6b4f15017ff2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matti Vaittinen mazziesaccount@gmail.com Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2022 15:04:04 +0300 Subject: tools: iio: iio_utils: fix digit calculation

The iio_utils uses a digit calculation in order to know length of the file name containing a buffer number. The digit calculation does not work for number 0.

This leads to allocation of one character too small buffer for the file-name when file name contains value '0'. (Eg. buffer0).

Fix digit calculation by returning one digit to be present for number '0'.
