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

iio: adc: ad7266: Fix potential timestamp alignment issue.

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 52d349884738c346961e153f195f4c7fe186fcf4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Cameron Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com Date: Sun, 13 Apr 2025 11:34:24 +0100 Subject: iio: adc: ad7266: Fix potential timestamp alignment issue. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

On architectures where an s64 is only 32-bit aligned insufficient padding would be left between the earlier elements and the timestamp. Use aligned_s64 to enforce the correct placement and ensure the storage is large enough.

Fixes: 54e018da3141 ("iio:ad7266: Mark transfer buffer as __be16") # aligned_s64 is much newer.
