[PATCH v2] iio: adc: ad7923: Fix buffer overflow for tx_buf and ring_xfer

From: Zicheng Qu
Date: Tue Oct 29 2024 - 09:57:43 EST


The AD7923 was updated to support devices with 8 channels, but the size
of tx_buf and ring_xfer was not increased accordingly, leading to a
potential buffer overflow in ad7923_update_scan_mode().

v2:
- Fixed: Addressed buffer overflow in ad7923_update_scan_mode() due to
insufficient tx_buf and ring_xfer size for 8-channel devices.
- Issue: Original patch attempted to fix the overflow by limiting the
length, but did not address the root cause of buffer size mismatch.
- Solution: Increased tx_buf and ring_xfer sizes recommended by Nuno to
support all 8 channels, ensuring adequate buffer capacity.
