Subject: [PATCH] iio: frequency: admv1013: fix NULL pointer dereference on str
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When device_property_read_string() fails, str is left uninitialized but the code falls through to strcmp(str, ...), dereferencing a garbage pointer. Replace manual read/strcmp with device_property_match_property_string() and consolidate the SE mode enums into a single sequential enum, mapping to hardware register values via a switch consistent with other bitfields in the driver.

Several cleanup patches have been applied to this driver recently so this will need a manual backport.

PATCH 1/2 iio: frequency: admv1013: add dev variable

From: Antoniu Miclaus <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit e61b5bb0e91390adee41eaddc0a1a7d55d5652b2 ]

Introduce a local struct device pointer in functions that reference &spi->dev for device-managed resource calls and device property reads, improving code readability.
