Subject: staging: iio: tsl2x7x_core: Fix standard deviation calculation

From: Eva Rachel Retuya <[email protected]>

commit cf6c77323a96fc40309cc8a4921ef206cccdd961 upstream.

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.

Fixes 3c97c08b5735 ("staging: iio: add TAOS tsl2x7x driver")
