Subject: [PATCH] iio: chemical: scd30: fix Oops due to missing parent device

My machine Oopsed while testing SCD30 sensor in interrupt driven mode:

 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000188
 pgd = (ptrval)
 [00000188] *pgd=00000000
 Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] SMP ARM

I've found out, that it's due to missing parent/owner device in iio_dev struct
which then leads to NULL pointer dereference during spinlock while registering
the device resource via devres_add().
