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

iio: Fix scan mask selection

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.

The trialmask is expected to have all bits set to 0 after allocation. Currently kmalloc_array() is used which does not zero the memory and so random bits are set. This results in random channels being enabled when they shouldn't. Replace kmalloc_array() with kcalloc() which has the same interface but zeros the memory.

Note the fix is actually required earlier than the below fixes tag, but will require a manual backport due to move from kmalloc to kmalloc_array.
