patch "iio: ensure ret is initialized to zero before entering do loop" added to staging-linus

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

iio: ensure ret is initialized to zero before entering do loop

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: ensure ret is initialized to zero before entering do loop

A recent fix to iio_buffer_read_first_n_outer removed ret from being set by a return from wait_event_interruptible and also added a continue in a loop which causes the variable ret to not be set when it reaches the end of the loop. Fix this by initializing ret to zero.

Also remove extraneous white space at the end of the loop.
