[PATCH 15/21] IIO: ti_adc: Print error and handle short FIFO events

From: Zubair Lutfullah
Date: Wed Jul 17 2013 - 13:29:14 EST


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.
