From: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@xxxxxxxxxx> commit cd0082235783f814241a1c9483fb89e405f4f892 upstream. The mma8452 driver directly assigns a trigger to the struct iio_dev. The IIO core when done using this trigger will call `iio_trigger_put()` to drop the reference count by 1. Without the matching `iio_trigger_get()` in the driver the reference count can reach 0 too early, the trigger gets freed while still in use and a use-after-free occurs. Fix this by getting a reference to the trigger before assigning it to the IIO device. Fixes: ae6d9ce05691 ("iio: mma8452: Add support for interrupt driven triggers.")
