iio: ltc2497: Fix reading conversion results
to my char-misc git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git in the char-misc-next branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

From 7f4f1096d5921f5d90547596f9ce80e0b924f887 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Uwe=20Kleine-K=C3=B6nig?= u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2022 09:16:47 +0000 Subject: iio: ltc2497: Fix reading conversion results MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
After the result of the previous conversion is read the chip automatically starts a new conversion and doesn't accept new i2c transfers until this conversion is completed which makes the function return failure.
So add an early return iff the programming of the new address isn't needed. Note this will not fix the problem in general, but all cases that are currently used. Once this changes we get the failure back, but this can be addressed when the need arises.
