From a2c12493ed7e63a18cef33a71686d12ffcd6600e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adam Thomson Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2014 12:11:00 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
