The only case where I want to defer is if the IO channel hasn't been created 
yet. From what I've read in iio_channel_get(), -ENODEV is returned specifically 
in this case. For example in fwnode_iio_channel_get_by_name() you have:

```
if (!IS_ERR(chan) || PTR_ERR(chan) != -ENODEV)
		return chan;
```

I could definitely use a cleanup action to flush the ctl pin work item instead 
of doing it in a remove() function. It would also remove the gotos below.
