The sorting in iio_gts_build_avail_time_table is not working as intended.
It could result in an out-of-bounds access when the time is zero.
Here are more details:
1. When the gts->itime_table[i].time_us is zero, e.g., the time
sequence is `3, 0, 1`, the inner for-loop will not terminate and do
out-of-bound writes. This is because once `times[j] > new`, the value
`new` will be added in the current position and the `times[j]` will be
moved to `j+1` position, which makes the if-condition always hold.
Meanwhile, idx will be added one, making the loop keep running without
termination and out-of-bound write.
2. If none of the gts->itime_table[i].time_us is zero, the elements
will just be copied without being sorted as described in the comment
"Sort times from all tables to one and remove duplicates".

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.
