Sorry for the delay.

config_item_set_name() takes a format string, since name is user supplied
this should be

	config_item_set_name(&t->group.cg_item, "%s", name);

I get compile errors when I build this without software trigger support enabled:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `trigger_drop_group':
/opt/linux/drivers/iio/industrialio-configfs.c:39: undefined reference to
`iio_sw_trigger_destroy'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `trigger_make_group':
/opt/linux/drivers/iio/industrialio-configfs.c:25: undefined reference to
`iio_sw_trigger_create'

Since it is bool ifdefing it out should work. But I wonder if it shouldn't
be the other way around and this should go into the sw-trigger module?

Maybe add a lockdep_assert() here to make it explicit that this requires the
types_lock.

What's the reason for doing a prefix match? E.g. if name is "h" this will
return the "hrtimer" trigger.

unregister should be void. There isn't too much that can go wrong here. If
the type is registered it will be removed, if it isn't registered there is
nothing to remove and jobs already done.

The problem with having a return value of unregister function is always
where to propagate the value to. And what to do if unregister fails of one
of many in a sequence of unregister calls in case the module registered
multiple things.
