[PATCH v2] iio: chemical: scd30: Prevent potential divide-by-zero errors
From: Maxwell Doose
Date: Sun May 10 2026 - 16:22:26 EST
In scd30_read_raw, the current value of tmp in the
IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ case is unchecked. Add checking to see if the
value we got was 0 to prevent a divide-by-zero error.
A similar case has also been found in scd30_write_raw(), also in the
IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ case, where the value of val2 was unchecked.
Add checking for that variable as well and return -EINVAL if it's 0.
Fixes: 64b3d8b1b0f5 ("iio: chemical: scd30: add core driver")

v2:
- Switch to dev_err_ratelimited() per sashiko.
- Fix another potential divide-by-zero error per sashiko (see commit
message).
