The iio_triggered_buffer_setup_ext() was changed by commit15097c7a1a("iio: buffer: wrap all buffer attributes into iio_dev_attr") to silently expect that all attributes given in buffer_attrs array are device-attributes. This expectation was not forced by the API - and some drivers did register attributes created by IIO_CONST_ATTR(). The added attribute "wrapping" does not copy the pointer to stored string constant and when the sysfs file is read the kernel will access to invalid location. Change the IIO_CONST_ATTRs from the driver to IIO_DEVICE_ATTR in order to prevent the invalid memory access.

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 Restructured Text 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.
