From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Tue May 05 2015 - 17:11:20 EST


3.13.11-ckt20 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Darshana Padmadas <darshanapadmadas@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 4ce7ca89d6e8eae9e201cd0e972ba323f33e2fb4 upstream.

This patch uses iio_trigger_get to increment the reference
count of trigger device, to avoid incorrect assignment.
Can result in a null pointer dereference during removal if the
trigger has been changed before removal.

This patch refers to a similar situation encountered through the
following discussion:
