This sounds fishy. EPROBE_DEFER should not be different from
other error codes in this regard and devm_ requested resources
should be free'd on any error. Why is irq handler not working?

You should not request non-devm managed iio_channel before
devm-managed power-supply. This could be fixed by switching to
devm_iio_channel_get(), which also cleans up some code.

I suspect, that this is also your IRQ problem, since iio_channel
is currently free'd before irqs are free'd, but its used in irq
code.
