Good fine, but the fix is not in the best place.  The key thing is that
any assignment inside a driver to iio_dev->trig should be done
with iio_trigger_get.

indio_dev->trig = iio_trigger_get(trig).  The intent is to avoid this
exact double free, but also handle it correctly if we are using
devm_ for all the handling.

I just did a grep and there are quite a few drivers not doing this though
so it's one we should be more careful about.

Hmm. Anyone fancy doing an audit of existing drivers and checking which
ones have this problem?  Some seem to do exactly what you have
here, but that isn't a the best pattern to encourage.

For this one would you mind trying with the iio_trigger_get
approach and if I'm not missing something, send a v2 fixing it
that way?

Thanks

Jonathan
