patch "iio: accel: sca3000: memory corruption in" added to staging-linus

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

iio: accel: sca3000: memory corruption in

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: accel: sca3000: memory corruption in
sca3000_read_first_n_hw_rb()

"num_read" is in byte units but we are write u16s so we end up write twice as much as intended.
