[PATCH 15/15] iio: ti_am335x_adc: Properly handle out of memory situation.

From: Zubair Lutfullah
Date: Thu Jul 18 2013 - 18:22:22 EST


From: Russ Dill <Russ.Dill@xxxxxx>

If we fail to allocate a buffer, unmask the interrupt to allow a retry.
The interrupt handler will be re-run, and our workqueue rescheduled.
If we are able to allocate memory next time around, everything will
continue as normal, otherwise, we will eventually get an underrun.
Before this patch, the driver would stop capturing without any
indication of error to the IIO subsystem or the user.
