patch "iio: sca3000: Fix an error handling path in 'sca3000_probe()'" added to staging-testing

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

iio: sca3000: Fix an error handling path in 'sca3000_probe()'

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-testing 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.)

Subject: iio: sca3000: Fix an error handling path in 'sca3000_probe()'

Use 'devm_iio_kfifo_allocate()' instead of 'iio_kfifo_allocate()' in order to simplify code and avoid a memory leak in an error path in 'sca3000_probe()'. A call to 'sca3000_unconfigure_ring()' was missing.

Sent via the next merge window as unimportant bug and there are other patches dependent on it.
