Subject: [PATCH v6 05/13] iio: inkern: Remove the 'unused' variable usage in iio_channel_read_max()
Date:   Fri, 23 Jun 2023 10:58:22 +0200
Message-Id: <20230623085830.749991-6-herve.codina@bootlin.com>
In-Reply-To: <20230623085830.749991-1-herve.codina@bootlin.com>

The code uses a local variable to initialize a null pointer in order to
avoid accessing this null pointer later on.

Simply removed the 'unused' variable and check for the null pointer just
before accessing it.
