[PATCH 1/2] iio: inkern: put the IIO device when it fails toallocate memory

From: Kim, Milo
Date: Tue Sep 18 2012 - 00:56:03 EST


The reference count of the IIO device is increased if the IIO map has
matched consumer name.
After then, it tries to allocate the iio_channel which is used by the consumer.
If it fails to allocate memory, the reference count should be decreased.

This patch enables restoring the reference count of the IIO device.
