Wait a bit.
First of all we linked all successfully added items to the list.

 - leave with as many maps as we registered
 - clean up and bail out

I dunno which one would play better in IIO, but you seem to go with
the latter one.

We have iio_map_array_unregister(). Why not use it?

I would rather drop a label with replacement goto -> break inside the
loop and call the following


        mutex_unlock(&iio_map_list_lock);
if (ret)
  iio_map_array_unregister();
return ret;

Sounds like only a few LOCs are needed.
