[PATCH] [staging] iio, adc: Do not leak memory inad7280_event_handler()

From: Jesper Juhl
Date: Sun Nov 06 2011 - 16:45:16 EST


If ad7280_read_all_channels() returns <0 then we'll leak the memory
allocated to 'channels' when we return and that variable goes out of
scope.
This patch fixes the leak.
