This fix is fine but can you talk me through how the static checker warning fix
in question has anything to do with this one?

Was it just a case of fixing that issue allowing the static checker to
get further before giving up?  In which case the description needs modifying.

Or am I missing something in the following fix?

diff --git a/drivers/iio/adc/mcp3564.c b/drivers/iio/adc/mcp3564.c

as that's all I'm seeing in that commit.
