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

iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: fix edge-trigger interrupts

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-next 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 also be merged in the next major kernel release during the merge window.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: fix edge-trigger interrupts

If we are using edge IRQs, new samples can arrive while processing current interrupt since there are no hw guarantees the irq line stays "low" long enough to properly detect the new interrupt. In this case the new sample will be missed.
Polling FIFO status register in st_lsm6dsx_handler_thread routine allow us to read new samples even if the interrupt arrives while processing previous data and the timeslot where the line is "low" is too short to be properly detected.

Fixes 89ca88a7cdf2 ("iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: support active-low interrupts")
Fixes 290a6ce11d93 ("iio: imu: add support to lsm6dsx driver")
