Are this and the other patch made with AI assistance?

No, either assign closer to its first user, or do even better.

This is a repetition of the same value. Instead add a boolean flag and do here

	bool na;
	...
			na = false; // or can be dropped with 'default' case
			switch (i) {
			case STM32_ADC_INT_CH_VDDCORE:
				na = !adc->cfg->regs->or_vddcore.reg;

Don't you also need a default?

			default:
				return -EINVAL; // for example...

			if (na) {
				...
				return 0;
			}

My gosh, the ret value is even ignored!
