There are two different types when requesting the channel. One is a pointer of iio_channel, the other is the error. So return type will be two - allocated iio_channel and integer. For simplicity, I would use just one return variable when it runs successfully. In error cases, do return as explicit name such like ERR_PTR() rather than saving into local integer. Just my two cents. But your code has better readability. Thank you.
