patch "iio: core: Fix entry not deleted when iio_register_sw_trigger_type()" added to char-misc-linus

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

iio: core: Fix entry not deleted when iio_register_sw_trigger_type()

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: core: Fix entry not deleted when iio_register_sw_trigger_type()
fails

In iio_register_sw_trigger_type(), configfs_register_default_group() is possible to fail, but the entry add to iio_trigger_types_list is not deleted.

This leaves wild in iio_trigger_types_list, which can cause page fault when module is loading again. So fix this by list_del(&t->list) in error path.

BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffbfff81d7400
Call Trace:
