patch "iio:ad7266: Fix broken regulator error handling" added to staging-linus

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

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

    iio:ad7266: Fix broken regulator error handling

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:ad7266: Fix broken regulator error handling

All regulator_get() variants return either a pointer to a regulator or an
ERR_PTR() so testing for NULL makes no sense and may lead to bugs if we
use NULL as a valid regulator. Fix this by using IS_ERR() as expected.
