[PATCH v3 1/7] iio: light: opt3001: move device registration to end of probe()

From: Joshua Crofts via B4 Relay

Date: Thu May 21 2026 - 06:12:06 EST


From: Joshua Crofts <joshua.crofts1@xxxxxxxxx>

Move IIO device registration to the end of the probe() function to
prevent a potential race where userspace can interact with the device
before IRQ is configured properly. Additionally, switch
devm_iio_device_register() to its unmanaged counterpart as current
driver implementation mixes managed and unmanaged resources, causing
potential resource leaks.

Also, add iio_device_unregister() to remove() function to correctly
handle teardown.
