patch "iio: proximity: as3935: fix buffer stack trashing" added to staging-linus

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

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

    iio: proximity: as3935: fix buffer stack trashing

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-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: proximity: as3935: fix buffer stack trashing

Buffer wasn't of a valid size to allow the timestamp, and correct padding.
This patchset also moves the buffer off the stack, and onto the heap.
