patch "iio-light: Use a signed return type for ltr501_match_samp_freq()" added to staging-linus

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

iio-light: Use a signed return type for ltr501_match_samp_freq()

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.

Subject: iio-light: Use a signed return type for ltr501_match_samp_freq()

The return type "unsigned int" was used by the ltr501_match_samp_freq() function despite of the aspect that it will eventually return a negative error code.
Improve this implementation detail by deletion of the type modifier then.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
