I'm embarrassed :( good find! Not sure why you made such an obvious
bug fix an RFC though!

Slight issue in the new error handling though I think..

I think the iio_trigger_put_irq should be here as it will have been gotten before the
request_threaded_irq call and hence should always be unwound on error not just in the
case above.
