    iio: buffer: introduce support for attaching more IIO buffers · ee708e6b
    Alexandru Ardelean authored
    With this change, calling iio_device_attach_buffer() will actually attach
    more buffers.
    Right now this doesn't do any validation of whether a buffer is attached
    twice; maybe that can be added later (if needed). Attaching a buffer more
    than once should yield noticeably bad results.
    
    The first buffer is the legacy buffer, so a reference is kept to it.
    
    At this point, accessing the data for the extra buffers (that are added
    after the first one) isn't possible yet.
    
    The iio_device_attach_buffer() is also changed to return an error code,
    which for now is -ENOMEM if the array could not be realloc-ed for more
    buffers.
    To adapt to this new change iio_device_attach_buffer() is called last in
    all place where it's called. The realloc failure is a bit difficult to
    handle during un-managed calls when unwinding, so it's better to have this
    as the last error in the setup_buffer calls.
    
    At this point, no driver should call iio_device_attach_buffer() directly,
    it should call one of the {devm_}iio_triggered_buffer_setup() or
    devm_iio_kfifo_buffer_setup() or devm_iio_dmaengine_buffer_setup()
    functions. This makes iio_device_attach_buffer() a bit easier to handle.
