iio: inkern: add error case in iio_channel_get()
The datasheet name is defined in the IIO driver. On the other hand, the adc_channel_label is configured in the platform side. If the datasheet name is not matched with any adc_channel_label, the iio_channel_get() should be returned as error for preventing invalid channel data access. This can be handled either way. (a) checking null data when using it : in the xxx_read_raw() or (b) error returns when the channel is requested : this patch The IIO consumer can't use the channel with invalid channel spec. Therefore case (b) is more reasonable. Signed-off-by: Milo(Woogyom) Kim <milo.kim@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron <jic23@kernel.org>
