iio: core: Add devm_ APIs for iio_channel_{get,release}
Some of kernel driver uses the IIO framework to get the sensor value via ADC or IIO HW driver. The client driver get iio channel by iio_channel_get() and release it by calling iio_channel_release(). Add resource managed version (devm_*) of these APIs so that if client calls the devm_iio_channel_get() then it need not to release it explicitly, it can be done by managed device framework when driver get un-binded. This reduces the code in error path and also need of .remove callback in some cases. Signed-off-by: Laxman Dewangan <ldewangan@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron <jic23@kernel.org>
