[PATCH] iio: adc: ti-ads1018: fix type overflow for data rate

[Chunyang Chen]

The variable 'drate' is currently defined as u8. However, the data rate
values in ads1018 can reach up to 3300 Hz (e.g., in ads1018_data_rate[]),
which exceeds the maximum value of 255 that a u8 can hold.

Change the type of 'drate' to u16 to prevent integer overflow and
ensure the data rate is handled correctly.

Good catch -- thanks!

Interestingly, my SPI controller has so much latency that I didn't catch
this while developing :/

data_rate_mode_to_hz[] is u32 so I prefer for this to be u32. This also
kinda matches ads1018_calc_delay() which takes unsigned int.

I'm a bit disturbed by the type inconsistency here...

Hi Kurt, Andy,

Thanks for your review and suggestions!
I have sent out the v2 patch, which addresses the following:

Changed 'drate' type to u32 to match the array definition and maintain
consistency, as suggested by Kurt.

The variable 'drate' is currently defined as u8. However, the data rate
values in ads1018 can reach up to 3300 Hz, which exceeds the maximum
value of 255 that a u8 can hold.

Change the type of 'drate' to u32 to match the data_rate_mode_to_hz
array definition and ensure the data rate is handled correctly.

The patch name in this fixes tag is wrong.  I fixed up.
