[PATCH 1/3] iio: adc: at91_adc: Repair broken platform_data support

Trying to use the at91_adc driver while not using device tree is ending up in a
kernel crash:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000004
[...]

[<c022acdc>] (kernel_init) from [<c0009670>] (ret_from_fork+0x14/0x24)

This is because the at91_adc_caps structure is mandatory but is not filled when
using platform_data. Correct that by using an id_table. It ensues that the
driver will not match "at91_adc" anymore but it was crashing anyway.

Fixes: c46016665fff (iio: at91: ADC start-up time calculation changed since at91sam9x5)
