Fixes a regression triggered by a change in the layout of struct iio_chan_spec, but the real bug is in the driver which assumed a specific structure layout in the first place. Hint: the three bits were not OR:ed together as implied by the indentation prior to this patch, there was a comma between the first two, which accidentally moved the ..._SCALE and ..._OFFSET bits to the next structure field. That field was .info_mask_shared_by_type before the _available attributes was added by commit5123960007("iio:core: add a callback to allow drivers to provide _available attributes") and .info_mask_separate_available afterwards, and the regression happened. info_mask_shared_by_type is actually a better choice than the originally intended info_mask_separate for the ..._SCALE and ..._OFFSET bits since a constant is returned from mpl115_read_raw for the scale/offset. Using info_mask_shared_by_type also preserves the behavior from before the regression and is therefore less likely to cause other interesting side effects. The above mentioned regression causes unintended sysfs attibutes to show up that are not backed by code, in turn causing a NULL pointer defererence to happen on access.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
