[PATCH v2 01/11] iio:common:st_sensors: add st_sensors_get_settings_index() helper function

[Denis Ciocca <denis.ciocca@xxxxxx>]

Extract from st_sensors_check_device_support() function the code that
is used to get the specific settings for a device. This will be used
as generic extractor by each ST driver.

Signed-off-by: Denis Ciocca <denis.ciocca@xxxxxx>
---
Changes in v2:
 return immediately in st_sensors_settings_index after device name is found
 remove err initialization inside st_sensors_check_device_support
