patch "iio: Fix iio_multiply_value use in iio_read_channel_processed_scale" 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: Fix iio_multiply_value use in iio_read_channel_processed_scale

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: Fix iio_multiply_value use in iio_read_channel_processed_scale

The function iio_multiply_value returns IIO_VAL_INT (1) on success or a
negative error number on failure, while iio_read_channel_processed_scale
should return an error code or 0. This creates a situation where the
expected result is treated as an error. Fix this by checking the
iio_multiply_value result separately, instead of passing it as a return
value.
