Assigning indio_dev->trig is not a good idea, as this can result in
wrong reference count for trigger device. If assigned, it is better to
increment reference counter by calling iio_trigger_get.

Hm, we should change the signature of iio_trigger_get() to return the trigger, this gets it more in sync with other ..._get() APIs in the kernel. Then the above two lines become indio_dev->trig = iio_trigger_get(trig).
