Some of kernel driver uses the IIO framework to get the sensor

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.

Applied to the togreg branch of iio.git.
I guess the thermal driver use case will hit a cycle or so behind this.
Thanks for applying this.
Yes, thermal driver will use this in future release. This is to avoid
any syncup between subsystem.
