patch "iio: proximity: rfd77402: Fix completion race condition in IRQ mode" added to char-misc-linus

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

iio: proximity: rfd77402: Fix completion race condition in IRQ mode

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.

Subject: iio: proximity: rfd77402: Fix completion race condition in IRQ mode

In IRQ mode, the completion was being reinitialized after the measurement command had already been sent to the hardware. This created a race condition where the IRQ handler could call complete() before reinit_completion() was executed. Consequently, wait_for_completion_timeout() would fail to see the signal and wait until it timed out.

Move reinit_completion() to occur before the measurement command is triggered to ensure the synchronization primitive is ready to capture the interrupt.
