During channel configuration, the iio-mux driver allocates a page with
devm_kzalloc(PAGE_SIZE) to read channel ext_info. However, the resulting
buffer points to an offset of the page due to the devres header sitting
at the beginning of the allocated area. This leads to failure in the
provider driver when sysfs_emit* helpers are used to format the ext_info
attributes.
Switch to plain kzalloc version. The devres version is not strictly
necessary as the buffer is only accessed during the channel
configuration phase. Rely on __free cleanup to deallocate the buffer.
Also, move the ext_info handling into a new function to have the page
buffer definition and assignment in one statement as suggested by
cleanup documentation.

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.
