[PATCH 4.9 095/153] iio: pressure: mpl3115: do not rely on structure field ordering

From: Peter Rosin <peda@axentia.se>

commit 9cf6cdba586ced75c69b8314b88b2d2f5ce9b3ed upstream.

Fixes a regression triggered by a change in the layout of
struct iio_chan_spec, but the real bug is in the driver which assumed
a specific structure layout in the first place. Hint: the two bits were
not OR:ed together as implied by the indentation prior to this patch,
there was a comma between them, which accidentally moved the ..._SCALE
bit to the next structure field. That field was .info_mask_shared_by_type
before the _available attributes was added by commit 51239600074b
("iio:core: add a callback to allow drivers to provide _available
attributes") and .info_mask_separate_available afterwards, and the
regression happened.

info_mask_shared_by_type is actually a better choice than the originally
intended info_mask_separate for the ..._SCALE bit since a constant is
returned from mpl3115_read_raw for the scale. Using
info_mask_shared_by_type also preserves the behavior from before the
regression and is therefore less likely to cause other interesting side
effects.

The above mentioned regression causes an unintended sysfs attibute to
show up that is not backed by code, in turn causing the following NULL
pointer defererence to happen on access.
