[PATCH v3 0/5] staging: iio: adc: ad7816: Fix channel handling

[Gabriel Shahrouzi <gshahrouzi@gmail.com>]

The original patch combined a functional fix (allowing channel 7) with
several refactoring steps (introducing chip_info, renaming structs,
improving validation). As requested, these have now been separated.

The series proceeds as follows:
1. Fix: Allow diagnostic channel 7 for all device variants.
2. Refactor: Rename the main state structure for clarity before introducing
   the new chip_info struct.
3. Refactor: Introduce struct ad7816_chip_info to hold static per-variant
   data, update ID tables to store pointers, and switch to using
   device_get_match_data() for firmware-independent identification.
   This removes the old enum/id mechanism.
4. Refactor: Add has_busy_pin to chip_info and use this flag to
   determine BUSY pin handling, replacing pointer comparisons.
5. Refactor: Simplify channel validation logic using 
   chip_info->max_channels, removing strcmp() checks.

Regarding the 'fixes' tag: I've applied it only to the first commit
containing the core fix, primarily to make backporting easier. Is this
the standard practice, or should the tag typically be applied to
subsequent commits that build upon or are related to the fix as well?

Chainges in v3:
	- Split the patch into smaller patches. Make the fix first
	  followed by clean up.
	- Include missing channel for channel selection.
	- Address specific feedback regarding enums vs. chip_info data.
	- Use device_get_match_data() for device identification.
	- Move BUSY pin capability check into chip_info data.
	- Simplify channel validation using chip_info data.
Changes in v2:
        - Refactor by adding chip_info struct which simplifies
          conditional logic.
