[PATCH v2] staging: iio: adc: ad7816: Use devm_gpiod_get_optional() for busy GPIO

From: Taha Narimani

Date: Wed Jun 03 2026 - 05:18:40 EST


The driver currently utilizes devm_gpiod_get() for the 'busy' line,
which makes the GPIO mandatory. However, the busy pin is hardware-optional
depending on the specific board configuration.

Switch to devm_gpiod_get_optional() to allow boards that do not have
this pin wired up to still probe the driver successfully, and remove
the redundant conditional chip-ID check since the optional API handles
missing descriptors gracefully.

Changes in v2:
- Fixed trailing whitespace and missing newline at the end of the file.
- Converted the file format to Unix (LF) to remove carriage returns.
- Removed the explicit chip-ID check around the busy pin logic.
- Improved the commit message to provide clear architectural justification.
