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

iio:common:ssp_sensors: Fix an error handling path ssp_probe()

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 21553258b94861a73d7f2cf15469d69240e1170d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christophe JAILLET christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2025 20:58:48 +0200 Subject: iio:common:ssp_sensors: Fix an error handling path ssp_probe() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

If an error occurs after a successful mfd_add_devices() call, it should be undone by a corresponding mfd_remove_devices() call, as already done in the remove function.
