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

iio: vcnl4000: Fix i2c swapped word reading.

to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git

Subject: iio: vcnl4000: Fix i2c swapped word reading.

The bytes returned by the i2c reading need to be swapped unconditionally. Otherwise, on be16 platforms, an incorrect value will be returned.

Taking the slow path via next merge window as its been around a while and we have a patch set dependent on this which would be held up.
