Hi Slawomir,

Nearly perfect... But see inline...

The ideal is always for a function to unwind on error to the point where
it leaves no visible side effects.  As such we should power down 'inside'
chain_setup on error (unfortunately there are a lot exit paths in that
function so the resulting patch will be larger than this :(

This may seem a pain to do this way, but it makes the code flow
more obvious generally making things cleaner.

Rather than go around again for such a trivial thing, I've
made the change and pushed out the updated patch to the togreg
branch of iio.git as testing for the autobuilders to see if
I messed it up!

Note this will move the resulting devm call as well. I'll do that for
patch 2.
