From: Radu Sabau <radu.sabau@analog.com>

commit 9990cd4f8827bd1ae3fb6eb7407630d8d463c430 upstream.

The adis_init() function dereferences adis->ops to check if the
individual function pointers (write, read, reset) are NULL, but does
not first check if adis->ops itself is NULL.

Drivers like adis16480, adis16490, adis16545 and others do not set
custom ops and rely on adis_init() assigning the defaults. Since struct
adis is zero-initialized by devm_iio_device_alloc(), adis->ops is NULL
when adis_init() is called, causing a NULL pointer dereference:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000
pc : adis_init+0xc0/0x118
Call trace:
adis_init+0xc0/0x118
adis16480_probe+0xe0/0x670

Fix this by checking if adis->ops is NULL before dereferencing it,
falling through to assign the default ops in that case.
