This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
iio:st_magn: Fix enable device after trigger
to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-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: Martin Kelly martin@martingkelly.com Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2018 20:18:53 -0700 Subject: iio:st_magn: Fix enable device after trigger
Currently, we enable the device before we enable the device trigger. At high frequencies, this can cause interrupts that don't yet have a poll function associated with them and are thus treated as spurious. At high frequencies with level interrupts, this can even cause an interrupt storm of repeated spurious interrupts (~100,000 on my Beagleboard with the LSM9DS1 magnetometer). If these repeat too much, the interrupt will get disabled and the device will stop functioning.
To prevent these problems, enable the device prior to enabling the device trigger, and disable the divec prior to disabling the trigger. This means there's no window of time during which the device creates interrupts but we have no trigger to answer them.
