[PATCH] iio: adc: stm32-adc: fix possible division by zero in processed channel

From: Fabrice Gasnier

Date: Tue Sep 15 2026 - 12:19:35 EST


In case the conversion has failed or returned zero, processing *val
can lead to a division by zero.
Need to check for errors, or converted value is zero, before processing
the data.
In case converted value is zero, e.g. the Vrefint channel, this should
be considered as invalid in all case.
