Subject: tools: iio: iio_utils: fix digit calculation
From: Matti Vaittinen <mazziesaccount@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 72b2aa38191bcba28389b0e20bf6b4f15017ff2b upstream.
The iio_utils uses a digit calculation in order to know length of the
file name containing a buffer number. The digit calculation does not
work for number 0.
This leads to allocation of one character too small buffer for the
file-name when file name contains value '0'. (Eg. buffer0).
Fix digit calculation by returning one digit to be present for number
'0'.
