      iio: hid-sensors: Prevent crash during hot-unplug · f07b60b7
      Srinivas Pandruvada authored
      When hid sensor hub is unplugged, there is a crash in
      iio_device_unregister_trigger_consumer.
      In a typical IIO driver when remove is called, it will unregister and free
      trigger and then it will call iio_device_free.
      The function iio_trigger_free() will free the allocated memory for trigger.
      If this trigger was assigned to iio_dev->trig, then it should be set to NULL.
      Othewise when iio_device_free() is called later, it finally calls
      iio_device_unregsister_trigger(), which checks for
             if (indio_dev->trig)
                      iio_trigger_put(indio_dev->trig);
      If indio_dev->trig is not set to NULL, it calls iio_trigger_put on a bad
      pointer causing crash.
      This scenerio can happen in any driver, which is storing trigger pointer in
      iio_dev structure and following current procedure during remove.
