[PATCH] iio: adc: stm32-adc: fix check on internal channel availability

From: Fabrice Gasnier

Date: Tue Sep 15 2026 - 12:24:03 EST


If an unsupported internal channel like vddgpu is requested, the driver
prints a warning but falls through and assigns it a valid int_ch below.

This causes a problem later during setup:
stm32_adc_int_ch_enable() {
...
case STM32_ADC_INT_CH_VDDGPU:
stm32_adc_set_bits(adc, adc->cfg->regs->or_vddgpu.reg,
adc->cfg->regs->or_vddgpu.mask);
...
}

Because the register offset is uninitialized (0), this performs a
read-modify-write on offset 0, which corresponds to the ISR register.

Fix this by returning before a valid int_ch is assigned.
Choice is made to just warn about the channel name as it could
be confusing, rather than making the probe fail.
