Subject: [PATCH v3] iio: sx9324: avoid copying property strings

We're doing some needless string copies when trying to assign the proper
`prop` string. We can make `prop` a const char* and simply assign to
string literals.

For the case where a format string is used, let's extract the parsing
logic out into sx9324_parse_phase_prop(). We no longer need to create
copies or allocate new memory.

sx9324_parse_phase_prop() will simply return the default def value if it
fails.

This also cleans up some deprecated strncpy() uses [1].

Changes in v2:
- make prop a const char* and do simple assignments (thanks Jonathan)
- rebase onto 3a568e3a961ba330

trivia:

I would have updated it like this moving the
various declarations into the case blocks
where they are used and removing a few unused
#defines

Yeah, I like this approach. Totally removes the string copying and
creates a helper that does the "heavy lifting". :)

I'd definitely like to see those defines gone.
Arguably an unrelated change as I guess they are left from a previous refactor
of this code.

Why prop to type renaming? It's getting passed into calls where the parameter
is propname so I'd understand renaming to that, but type just seems a bit random
to me. I do wonder if we are better off having some long lines and getting rid
of the property naming local variables completely by just duplicating
the device_property_read_u32() call and passing them in directly.

Moving declarations more locally is a nice to have but I'll leave that up to Justin.

Anyhow, both solutions look much better than the original so I'm fine either way
(subject to responses to Stephen's review)
