patch "iio: adc: nxp-sar-adc: Fix DMA channel leak in trigger mode" added to char-misc-linus

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

iio: adc: nxp-sar-adc: Fix DMA channel leak in trigger mode

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: adc: nxp-sar-adc: Fix DMA channel leak in trigger mode

The DMA channel was requested in nxp_sar_adc_buffer_postenable() but was only released in nxp_sar_adc_buffer_software_do_predisable(). This caused a DMA channel resource leak when operating in trigger mode.

Fix this by moving dma_request_chan() from nxp_sar_adc_buffer_postenable() into nxp_sar_adc_buffer_software_do_postenable(), ensuring the DMA channel is only requested in software mode.
