patch "iio: temperature: maxim_thermocouple: use DMA-safe buffer for" added to char-misc-linus

[gregkh]

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

    iio: temperature: maxim_thermocouple: use DMA-safe buffer for

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: temperature: maxim_thermocouple: use DMA-safe buffer for
 spi_read()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Replace using stack-allocated buffers with a DMA-safe buffer for use
with spi_read(). This allows the driver to be safely used with
DMA-enabled SPI controllers.

The buffer array is also converted to a struct with a union to make the
usage of the memory in the buffer more clear and ensure proper alignment.
