Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 022/273] iio:adc:ti_am335x_adc Fix buffered mode by identifying as software buffer.

4.2.8-ckt5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Jonathan Cameron <jic23@...nel.org>

commit 9d0be85d4e2cfa2519ae16efe7ff4a7150c43c0b upstream.

Whilst this part has a hardware buffer, the identifcation that IIO cares
about is the userspace facing end.  It this case we push individual elements
from the hardware fifo into the software interface (specifically a kfifo)
rather than providing direct reads through to a hardware buffer
(as we still do in the sca3000 for example).

Technically the original specification as a hardware buffer could be
considered wrong, but it didn't matter until the patch listed below.

Result is that any attempt to enable the buffer will return -EINVAL
