From: Adam Thomson Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2014 12:11:00 +0000 (+0000) Subject: iio: of_iio_channel_get_by_name() returns non-null pointers for error legs X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a2c12493ed7e63a18cef33a71686d12ffcd6600e;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git iio: of_iio_channel_get_by_name() returns non-null pointers for error legs Currently in the inkern.c code for IIO framework, the function of_iio_channel_get_by_name() will return a non-NULL pointer when it cannot find a channel using of_iio_channel_get() and when it tries to search for 'io-channel-ranges' property and fails. This is incorrect behaviour as the function which calls this expects a NULL pointer for failure. This patch rectifies the issue.
