patch "iio: adc: ad7124: Disable all channels at probe time" added to char-misc-linus

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

iio: adc: ad7124: Disable all channels at probe time

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.

When during a measurement two channels are enabled, two measurements are done that are reported sequencially in the DATA register. As the code triggered by reading one of the sysfs properties expects that only one channel is enabled it only reads the first data set which might or might not belong to the intended channel.

To prevent this situation disable all channels during probe. This fixes a problem in practise because the reset default for channel 0 is enabled. So all measurements before the first measurement on channel 0 (which disables channel 0 at the end) might report wrong values.
