[PATCH] driver: iio: add missing checks on iio_info's callback access

From: Julien Stephan
Date: Wed May 29 2024 - 06:08:24 EST


Some callbacks from iio_info structure are accessed without any check, so
if a driver doesn't implement them trying to access the corresponding
sysfs entries produce a kernel oops such as:
