This patch is completely bogus:
drivers/staging/iio/adc/ad7606_spi.c: In function ‘ad7606_spi_read_block’:
drivers/staging/iio/adc/ad7606_spi.c:34: warning: ‘data’ is used uninitialized
in this function
Hence please revert commit 87787e5ef727ff15f7c552cc48823b469f2eb41b

Staging: iio: Fix sparse endian warning
BTW, what version of sparse are you using?
My (Ubuntu) version of sparse didn't complain about the original, neither does
the one I've just cloned from the master repository
(v0.5.0-44-g40791b94c56b1a6d)?
Hence I have no idea if fixing this by keeping the assignment of buf to data
is warned about....
