Subject: [PATCH] iio: temperature: ltc2983: Fix n_wires default bypassing
rotation check

When adi,number-of-wires is absent, n_wires is left at 0. The binding documents a default of 2 wires, matching the hardware default. However the current-rotate validation checks n_wires == 2 || n_wires == 3, so with n_wires = 0 the guard is bypassed and adi,current-rotate is accepted for a 2-wire RTD.

Initialize n_wires = 2 to match the binding default and ensure the rotation check fires correctly when the property is absent.

[ Liviu Stan: resolve conflict - keep fwnode_handle *ref declaration
which was removed upstream by a later refactor not in 6.1.y ]

Queued for 6.1, thanks.
