Subject: [PATCH] iio: frequency: admv1013: fix NULL pointer dereference on str
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When device_property_read_string() fails, str is left uninitialized
but the code falls through to strcmp(str, ...), dereferencing a garbage
pointer. Replace manual read/strcmp with
device_property_match_property_string() and consolidate the SE mode
enums into a single sequential enum, mapping to hardware register
values via a switch consistent with other bitfields in the driver.

Several cleanup patches have been applied to this driver recently so
this will need a manual backport.

[PATCH 6.18.y 1/2] iio: frequency: admv1013: add dev variable

[Sasha Levin]

From: Antoniu Miclaus <antoniu.miclaus@analog.com>

[ Upstream commit e61b5bb0e91390adee41eaddc0a1a7d55d5652b2 ]

Introduce a local struct device pointer in functions that reference
&spi->dev for device-managed resource calls and device property reads,
improving code readability.
