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

iioc: dac: ltc2664: Fix span variable usage in

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 ccf9af8b0dadd0aecc24503ef289cbc178208418 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mohammed Anees pvmohammedanees2003@gmail.com Date: Sun, 6 Oct 2024 01:34:35 +0530 Subject: iioc: dac: ltc2664: Fix span variable usage in ltc2664_channel_config()

In the current implementation of the ltc2664_channel_config() function, a variable named span is declared and initialized to 0, intended to capture the return value of the ltc2664_set_span() function. However, the output of ltc2664_set_span() is directly assigned to chan->span, leaving span unchanged. As a result, when the function later checks if (span < 0), this condition will never trigger an error since span remains 0, this flaw leads to ineffective error handling. Resolve this issue by using the ret variable to get the return value and later assign it if successful and remove unused span variable.
