resource managed pollfunc

resource managed pollfunc

[Gregor Boirie]

Dear all,

I'm wondering why there are no resource managed versions of
iio_triggered_buffer_setup and iio_alloc_pollfunc.

Any particular reason ??

Regards,
Greg

No one got around to it?

The triggered buffer one is a little bit non trivial a it
does a good deal of it's own allocating.

It's not immediately obvious whether such a devm call should
just make devm calls itself, or should use it's own unwind.

I think I'd prefer the making devm calls itself, though that
would obviously lead to perhaps more code duplication as
you'd also need an explicit unwind version.

Any other similar situations than anyone can think of
to give us a precedent on how to handle this?
