Hello!

This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by

    3a6af93dd66e ("iio: adc: ad7476: Add IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW for AD7091R")

Coverity reported the following:

*** CID 1492717:  Incorrect expression  (NO_EFFECT)
/drivers/iio/adc/ad7476.c: 312 in ad7476_probe()
306     	indio_dev->name = spi_get_device_id(spi)->name;
307     	indio_dev->modes = INDIO_DIRECT_MODE;
308     	indio_dev->channels = st->chip_info->channel;
309     	indio_dev->num_channels = 2;
310     	indio_dev->info = &ad7476_info;
311
vvv     CID 1492717:  Incorrect expression  (NO_EFFECT)
vvv     Comparing an array to null is not useful: "st->chip_info->convst_channel", since the test will always evaluate as true.
312     	if (st->convst_gpio && st->chip_info->convst_channel)
313     		indio_dev->channels = st->chip_info->convst_channel;
314     	/* Setup default message */
315
316     	st->xfer.rx_buf = &st->data;
317     	st->xfer.len = st->chip_info->channel[0].scan_type.storagebits / 8;

If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as
such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make
sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please
include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first):
