[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 41/94] iio: accel: sca3000: memory corruption in sca3000_read_first_n_hw_rb()

[Luis Henriques]

3.16.7-ckt20 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit eda7d0f38aaf50dbb2a2de15e8db386c4f6f65fc upstream.

"num_read" is in byte units but we are write u16s so we end up write
twice as much as intended.
