Subject: [PATCH 3/3][V3] iio: Handle enumerated properties with gaps

From: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@...afoo.de>

Some enums might have gaps or reserved values in the middle of their value
range. E.g. consider a 2-bit enum where the values 0, 1 and 3 have a
meaning, but 2 is a reserved value and can not be used.

Add support for such enums to the IIO enum helper functions. A reserved
values is marked by setting its entry in the items array to NULL rather
than the normal descriptive string value.

Also, `__sysfs_match_string()` now supports NULL gaps, so that doesn't
require any changes.

Changelog v2 -> v3:
* after fixing __sysfs_match_string(), this change only requires that NULL
  be handled in the iio_enum_{available_}read functions
  __sysfs_match_string() handles the NULL gaps
