patch "iio: adc: ad7606: check for NULL before calling sw_mode_config()" added to char-misc-linus

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

iio: adc: ad7606: check for NULL before calling sw_mode_config()

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.

Check that the sw_mode_config function pointer is not NULL before calling it. Not all buses define this callback, which resulted in a NULL pointer dereference.
