Hi Dimitry,

Sorry for the (long) delay, I did not have time to work on it. I'll
mainly work in my free time now.

Something like:

release_iio_channels(void* data)
{
	struct sunxi_gpadc_ts *info = data;
	iio_channel_release_all_cb(info->buffer);
}

[...]
	info->buffer = iio_channel_get_all_cb(&pdev->dev,
					      &sunxi_gpadc_ts_callback,
					      (void *)info);
	ret = devm_add_action_or_reset(&pdev->dev,
				       release_iio_channels,
				       (void *)info);
	if (ret)
		return ret;

?

May I know why you prefer that way instead of explicit removing in
remove function of the platform device? I understand for devm-variant
already in the framework but I am curious for this one.

Do you mean that I should be using exclusively devm or non-devm functions?
Do you mean input device's close will always be called when
unloading/unbinding the driver?
