[PATCH v4] iio: adc: ad4030: fix invalid oversampling_ratio validation

From: Salah Triki

Date: Tue Sep 01 2026 - 06:43:20 EST


In ad4030_set_avg_frame_len(), the logarithm is calculated before input
validation. Passing zero or negative values leads to an undefined result
from ilog2().

Validate that the input is strictly positive prior to computing its
logarithm to ensure only valid values are processed.

Changes in v4:
- Reordered local variables to enforce strict reversed Christmas tree layout
(per Andy Shevchenko).
- Rephrased commit log in plain English without C-specific terms
(per Andy Shevchenko).
- Converted AI assistance note into a formal Assisted-by tag
(per Andy Shevchenko).

Changes in v3:
- Dropped the !is_power_of_2() check to preserve standard IIO attribute
rounding behavior, per feedback from David Lechner and Jonathan Cameron.

Changes in v2:
- Added note stating the issue was identified with assistance from
Claude AI and verified manually.
- Removed initialization of avg_log2 at declaration.
