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

iio: frequency: admv1013: fix NULL pointer dereference on str

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-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.

When device_property_read_string() fails, str is left uninitialized but the code falls through to strcmp(str, ...), dereferencing a garbage pointer. Replace manual read/strcmp with device_property_match_property_string() and consolidate the SE mode enums into a single sequential enum, mapping to hardware register values via a switch consistent with other bitfields in the driver.

Several cleanup patches have been applied to this driver recently so this will need a manual backport.
