Subject: iio: adc: meson-saradc: fix potential crash in meson_sar_adc_clear_fifo

From: Martin Blumenstingl <martin.blumenstingl@googlemail.com>

commit 103a07d4278203d6299798cd74cdc4d209801cac upstream.

meson_sar_adc_clear_fifo passes a 0 as value-pointer to regmap_read().
In case of the meson-saradc driver this ends up in regmap_mmio_read(),
where the value-pointer is de-referenced unconditionally to assign the
value which was read.
Fix this by passing an actual pointer, even though all we want to do is
to discard the value.

As a side-effect this fixes a sparse warning ("Using plain integer as
NULL pointer") as reported by Paolo Cretaro.
