Hi Matteo,
The cleanup.h stuff is new and comes with footguns. As such the
'rules' applied are perhaps stricter than then will be in the long term.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/172294149613.2215.3274492813920223809.tip-bot2@tip-bot2/
is what we have today. Particularly the last few paragraphs on usage.

Unlike below this one is 'almost' ok because there isn't much below. However,
still not good because of the risk of future code putting something in between.
At very minimum move it down to just before the place it's allocated.
It's a bit messy but maybe what we need is:
int *iio_read_avail_channel_attribute_retvals(struct iio_channel *chan,
int *type, int *length,
enum iio_chan_info_enum attr)
{
int *vals;
int ret;
ret = iio_read_avail_channel_attribute(chan, &vals, type, len, attr;
if (ret)
return ERR_PTR(ret);
return vals;
}
Then you can do
const int *vals __free(kfree) =
iio_channel_read_avail_retvals(chan, type, &length, info);
if (IS_ERR(vals))
...
and obey the suggested style for cleanup.h usage.
Would need some clear comments on why it exists though!
(+ maybe a better name)

This isn't a good pattern as per the docs I just replied to v3 with.
Whilst the code is functionally correct today, it is fragile for the reasons
in those docs.
