[PATCH] iioc: dac: ltc2664: Fix span variable usage in ltc2664_channel_config function
From: Mohammed Anees
Date: Fri Oct 04 2024 - 09:56:31 EST
In the current implementation of the ltc2664_channel_config function,
a variable named span is declared and initialized to 0, intended to
capture the return value of the ltc2664_set_span function. However,
the output of ltc2664_set_span is directly assigned to chan->span,
leaving span unchanged. As a result, when the function later checks
if (span < 0), this condition will never trigger an error since
span remains 0, this flaw leads to ineffective error handling. The
current patch resolves this issue by checking chan->span rather than
span and also effectively removing span variable.
