[PATCH] iio: ad_sigma_delta: Don't put SPI transfer buffer on the stack

From: Alexandru Ardelean
Date: Thu Nov 12 2020 - 04:06:12 EST


From: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@xxxxxxxxxx>

Use a heap allocated memory for the SPI transfer buffer. Using stack memory
can corrupt stack memory when using DMA on some systems.

This change adds 4 bytes at the end of the current DMA buffer, which will
be used by the trigger handler.
This is required because the first 4 bytes are reserved for register data.

Fixes: af3008485ea03 ("iio:adc: Add common code for ADI Sigma Delta devices")
