patch "iio: light: bh1780: assign a static name" added to staging-linus

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

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

    iio: light: bh1780: assign a static name

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: light: bh1780: assign a static name

Using the struct i2c_device->id field for naming the light sensor
is a bad idea: when booting from the pure device tree this is NULL
and that causes the device not to have the "name" property in
sysfs and that in turn confuses the "lsiio" command to stop listing
devices.

So instead of using the device .id, use the hard string "bh1780",
which works just fine.
