[PATCH v2] iio: proximity: srf08: use stack allocated scan buffer
From: David Lechner
Date: Mon Jul 21 2025 - 18:21:31 EST
Use a stack allocated scan struct in srf08_trigger_handler(). Since the
scan buffer isn't used outside of this function and doesn't need to be
DMA-safe, it doesn't need to be in struct srf08_data. We can also
eliminate an extra local variable for the return value of
srf08_read_ranging() by using scan.chan directly.

Changes in v2:
- Zero-init the scan struct to avoid leaking uninitialized stack to userspace.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250711-iio-use-more-iio_declare_buffer_with_ts-6-v1-1-25c70b990d6c@xxxxxxxxxxxx
