Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tools: iio: fix mask for 32 bit sensor data

When the the sensor data uses 32 bits out of 32, generic_buffer prints
the value 0 for all data read.

In this case, the mask is shifted 32 bits, which is beyond the size of
an integer. This will lead to the mask always being 0. Before printing,
the mask is applied to the raw value, thus generating a final value of 0.

Fix the mask by shifting a 64 bit value instead of an integer.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tools: iio: print error message when buffer enable fails

Running generic_buffer without enabling any channel of the
sensor will fail without printing any error message.

Add an error message that indicates buffer enable failed.

Hi,
please make use of the error code stored in ret (with negative sign), as
in most cases the value of errno has already changed since the original
error has occurred.
Thanks,

Hartmut

Hi Hartmut,

Yes, you are right. Missed that. Will fix in v2.

Thanks,
