[PATCH 11/15] iio: ti_am335x_adc: Print error and handle short FIFO events

From: Zubair Lutfullah
Date: Thu Jul 18 2013 - 18:21:57 EST


From: Russ Dill <Russ.Dill@xxxxxx>

In the case that the FIFO threshold handler gets called when the
FIFO has not actually reached the threshold, the driver will pass
uninitialized memory to the IIO subsystem.
In the past, this would occur due to bugs in the driver, those bugs
have been fixed. However, it is still a good idea to close this just
in case additional bugs in hardware or software exist.
