The new devm_iio_adc_device_alloc_chaninfo_se() -helper is intended to help drivers avoid open-coding the for_each_node -loop for getting the channel IDs. The helper provides standard way to detect the ADC channel nodes (by the node name), and a standard way to convert the "reg" -properties to channel identification numbers, used in the struct iio_chan_spec. Furthermore, the helper can optionally check the found channel IDs are smaller than given maximum. This is useful for callers which later use the IDs for example for indexing a channel data array. The original driver treated all found child nodes as channel nodes. The new helper requires channel nodes to be named channel[@N]. This should help avoid problems with devices which may contain also other but ADC child nodes. Quick grep from arch/* with the rzg2l_adc's compatible string didn't reveal any in-tree .dts with channel nodes named otherwise. Also, same grep shows all the .dts seem to have channel IDs between 0..num of channels. Use the new helper.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
