Subject: [PATCH 0/1] tools: iio: fix iio_generic_buffer

While executing tools/iio_generic_buffer i was getting this fault:

beagle /usr/src/linux/tools/iio # ./iio_generic_buffer -a -c 10 -N 0 -T 0
iio device number being used is 0
iio trigger number being used is 0
Auto-channels selected but some channels are already activated in sysfs
Proceeding without activating any channels
/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0 mytmr
Floating point exception

The FPE was generated due to a modulo zero in size_from_channelarray()
(all channels[].bytes were zero because channels[] were never populated).

The root of the cause is the seekdir() function within
build_channel_array().

On my system I can observe a clear difference between these two functions:

    seekdir(dp, 0);
    printf("location = %lu\n", telldir(dp)); // location == 4294967295

    rewinddir(dp);
    printf("location = %lu\n", telldir(dp)); // location == 1

The attached patch fixed the bug for me.

I'm using a BeagleBone Black devboard with an up-to-date stable branch
Gentoo Linux OS on top of it.

CHOST:  armv7a-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
kernel: mainline 6.7.0-rc6
glibc:  2.37-r7:2.2::gentoo  USE="caps gd multiarch ssp static-libs -audit

    (-selinux) -stack-realign -suid -systemd -systemtap -test -vanilla"
    (+ contains Gentoo specific patches)
