[PATCH] staging:iio: fix nasty freeing messup on exit.

[PATCH] staging:iio: fix nasty freeing messup on exit.

[Jonathan Cameron]

No idea why this hasn't caused me more issues before today
(when everything started dying).

Anyhow, it was impossible to correctly cleanup buffer related
sysfs attribute arrays as it could not be before the
iio_device_unregister as then the actual file removal
would be using freeded memory.

It could not be after as then we didn't have any way of getting
to it.

Fix is to resplit iio_device_unregister in two and do the
free explicitly in all drivers.

If people can test as many parts as possible asap, I'll
be pushing this onwards as soon as I'm happy I haven't
caused any more fallout.

Note along the way I fixed a few removal paths that wouldn't
have worked anyway.

Thanks,

Jonathan

[PATCH] staging:iio: fix removal path to allow correct freeing.

[Jonathan Cameron]

Fix a dumb lack of consideration of the effect of combining
the iio_device_unregister and iio_free_device calls into
one.  There is no valid place to free some of the sysfs
array elements.

It seems to work fine under normal conditions, but I'm wondering if it is
possible to create a sitution in which we still have reference to the iio
device pending when we unbind the parent device. In this case
iio_free_device
would be called before iio_release_device.

It's possible there is a bug in the core or one of the drivers.
Drivers are responsible for ensuring all pending work is flushed etc.
The core should ensure that if another device has a reference, 
then the relevant module will have been gotten and hence rmmod
will refuse to do anything.

Having said that, we've chased down bugs in the trigger code this
cycle and I suspect there are more in there.  Hence please do point
out any failure cases you come across!
