If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Adam Thomson commit a2c12493ed7e63a18cef33a71686d12ffcd6600e upstream. Currently in the inkern.c code for IIO framework, the function of_iio_channel_get_by_name() will return a non-NULL pointer when it cannot find a channel using of_iio_channel_get() and when it tries to search for 'io-channel-ranges' property and fails. This is incorrect behaviour as the function which calls this expects a NULL pointer for failure. This patch rectifies the issue.
