[PATCH v5] iio: sx9324: avoid copying property strings

From: Justin Stitt
Date: Thu Feb 01 2024 - 13:55:23 EST


We're doing some needless string copies when trying to assign the proper
`prop` string. We can make `prop` a const char* and simply assign to
string literals.

For the case where a format string is used, let's extract the parsing
logic out into sx9324_parse_phase_prop(). We no longer need to create
copies or allocate new memory.

sx9324_parse_phase_prop() will simply return the default def value if it
fails.

This also cleans up some deprecated strncpy() uses [1].

Furthermore, let's clean up this code further by removing some unused
defines:
| #define SX9324_PIN_DEF "semtech,ph0-pin"
| #define SX9324_RESOLUTION_DEF "semtech,ph01-resolution"
| #define SX9324_PROXRAW_DEF "semtech,ph01-proxraw-strength"
