[PATCH 1/3] iio: adc: ti-ads1298: add bounds check to pga_settings index

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Date: Thu May 14 2026 - 12:26:46 EST


From: Sam Daly <sam@xxxxxxxxxx>

ads1298_pga_settings has 7 elements but ADS1298_MASK_CH_PGA can yield
values 0-7. If it yields a value >= 7, this causes an out-of-bounds
array access. Add a bounds check and return -EINVAL if the index
is out of range.
