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

iio: buffer: align the size of scan bytes to size of the largest

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: =?UTF-8?q?Lars=20M=C3=B6llendorf?= lars.moellendorf@plating.de Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2019 14:50:55 +0100 Subject: iio: buffer: align the size of scan bytes to size of the largest element MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Previous versions of `iio_compute_scan_bytes` only aligned each element to its own length (i.e. its own natural alignment). Because multiple consecutive sets of scan elements are buffered this does not work in case the computed scan bytes do not align with the natural alignment of the first scan element in the set.

This commit fixes this by aligning the scan bytes to the natural alignment of the largest scan element in the set.
