[RFC] iio: Release irq if set_trigger_state fails

From: Crestez Dan Leonard
Date: Thu Apr 28 2016 - 12:40:36 EST


When attaching a pollfunc iio_trigger_attach_poll_func will allocate a
virtual irq and call the driver's set_trigger_state function. Fix error
handling to release the irq if set_trigger_state fails.

Otherwise when using triggered buffers and the driver's
set_trigger_state fails once then the buffer becomes unusable.

It is not possible to handle this sort of error by calling
iio_trigger_detach_poll_func externally somehow. That function should
only be called if attach is successful.

I ran into this while adding some validation in driver's set_trigger_state
function. It's much better to use buffer_ops->predisable for that kind of stuff
but the iio core should still handle set_trigger_state errors correctly.
