This transformation is dangerous, because it moves the stopping of
interrupts from where the free_irq is to after the end of the function (ie
in the caller). You have to be very sure that the interrupt handler will
not use any resources that are freed by the subsequent cleanup code, ie
iio_trigger_unregister and iio_trigger_free.
