[PATCH] staging: iio: tsl2x7x_core: Fix standard deviation calculation

From: Eva Rachel Retuya
Date: Mon Mar 20 2017 - 07:36:44 EST


Standard deviation is calculated as the square root of the variance
where variance is the mean of sample_sum and length. Correct the
computation of statP->stddev in accordance to the proper calculation.
