patch "iio: adc: ti-adc161s626: fix buffer read on big-endian" added to char-misc-linus

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

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

    iio: adc: ti-adc161s626: fix buffer read on big-endian

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: adc: ti-adc161s626: fix buffer read on big-endian

Rework ti_adc_trigger_handler() to properly handle data on big-endian
architectures. The scan data format is 16-bit CPU-endian, so we can't
cast it to a int * on big-endian and expect it to work. Instead, we
introduce a local int variable to read the data into, and then copy it
to the buffer.

Since the buffer isn't passed to any SPI functions, we don't need it to
be DMA-safe. So we can drop it from the driver data struct and just
use stack memory for the scan data.

Since there is only one data value (plus timestamp), we don't need an
array and can just declare a struct with the correct data type instead.

Also fix alignment of iio_get_time_ns() to ( while we are touching this.
