iio_utils.h bug?

["Zubair Lutfullah :" <zubair.lutfullah@gmail.com>]

Hi,

A guy posted this fix on my blog. I couldn't make sense of it.

Thought I'd post it here. I'll send a proper patch file if 
I knew what commit log I needed to write.
And I can't exactly sign-off :s.

I asked him to post but he couldn't/wouldn't.

Regards
