I wonder if the sampling frequency should be configurable the regular IIO 
API, just like any other IIO device. But things like min/max sampling 
frequency should be configured in configfs.

This should probably have a helper function in the sw trigger core, that 
gets stubbed out when CONFIG_FS is disabled. Otherwise we'll see the same 
#ifdef in every software trigger driver.

There is a bit of a race condition here. hrtimer_cancel() should be called 
between unregister and free, otherwise it might be re-armed before it is 
unregistered.
