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

iio: dln2: Check return value of devm_iio_trigger_register()

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: Lars-Peter Clausen lars@metafoo.de Date: Mon, 1 Nov 2021 14:30:43 +0100 Subject: iio: dln2: Check return value of devm_iio_trigger_register()

Registering a trigger can fail and the return value of devm_iio_trigger_register() must be checked. Otherwise undefined behavior can occur when the trigger is used.
