Subject: [PATCH 3.16 229/357] iio:inkern: fix overwritten -EPROBE_DEFER in of_iio_channel_get_by_name

3.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Pointner <johannes.pointner@...il.com>

commit 872687f626e033b4ddfaec1e410057cfc6636d77 upstream.

Fixes: a2c12493ed7e ('iio: of_iio_channel_get_by_name() returns non-null pointers for error legs')

which improperly assumes that of_iio_channel_get_by_name must always
return NULL and thus now hides -EPROBE_DEFER.
