patch "iio: hid-sensor-attributes: Fix sensor property setting failure." added to staging-linus

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

iio: hid-sensor-attributes: Fix sensor property setting failure.

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: hid-sensor-attributes: Fix sensor property setting failure.

When system bootup without get sensor property, set sensor property will be fail.

If no get_feature operation done before set_feature, the sensor properties will all be the initialized value, which is not the same with sensor real properties. When set sensor property it will write back to sensor the changed perperty data combines with other sensor properties data, it is not right and may be dangerous.

In order to get all sensor properties, choose to read one of the sensor properties(no matter read any sensor peroperty, driver will get all the peroperties and return the requested one).
