[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.12 25/69] iio: adc: ad_sigma_delta: don't overallocate scan buffer

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: David Lechner <dlechner@baylibre.com>

[ Upstream commit 5a2f15c5a8e017d0951e6dc62aa7b5b634f56881 ]

Fix overallocating the size of the scan buffer by converting bits to
bytes. The size is meant to be in bytes, so scanbits needs to be
divided by 8.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

**Backport Status: YES**

This commit fixes a clear memory overallocation bug in the
ad_sigma_delta ADC driver that has been present since kernel v5.19. The
analysis shows:

1. **Bug Description**: The code incorrectly calculates buffer size by
   treating `storagebits` (which is in bits) as if it were in bytes. The
   `storagebits` field in `struct iio_scan_type` represents the number
   of bits needed to store a sample, typically 8, 16, 24, or 32 bits.

2. **Impact**: The bug causes the driver to allocate 8x more memory than
   needed. For example:
   - If `storagebits = 16` (2 bytes per sample) and `slot = 4`
   - Buggy calculation: `ALIGN(4 * 16, 8) = 64 bytes`
   - Correct calculation: `ALIGN(4 * 16 / 8, 8) = 8 bytes`

   This wastes kernel memory and could potentially lead to memory
exhaustion in systems with many IIO devices.

3. **Fix Quality**: The fix is minimal and correct - simply dividing by
   8 to convert bits to bytes. This is consistent with how `storagebits`
   is used throughout the IIO subsystem, as evidenced by the grep
   results showing `sizeof(u32) * 8` assignments.

4. **Affected Versions**: The bug was introduced in commit 8bea9af887de4
   ("iio: adc: ad_sigma_delta: Add sequencer support") which first
   appeared in v5.19 and is present in all releases since then (v5.19,
   v6.0, v6.1, v6.10, v6.11).

5. **Stable Criteria Met**:
   - ✓ Fixes a real bug (memory overallocation)
   - ✓ Small, contained fix (single line change)
   - ✓ No architectural changes
   - ✓ Low risk of regression
   - ✓ Bug affects users (wastes memory)
   - ✓ Clear and obvious fix

The commit should be backported to all stable kernels from v5.19 onwards
to fix this memory waste issue in the industrial I/O subsystem.
