This raises an interesting point.  This driver mixes and matches between
hanging devm off the parent and off the iio_dev->dev.

That's probably not a good thing to do as it could lead to an odd unwind
order.  I'm pretty sure the changes here are fine, but we should take
a closer look...

Series applied to the togreg branch of iio.git and pushed out as testing.

You can do the same thing with the trigger with only slightly more complex
patch, but I'd like to discuss whether there are races because of the current
dev mix and match before that.

Thanks,

Jonathan
