[PATCH v4 1/8] iio: light: opt3001: move device registration to end of probe()

From: Joshua Crofts via B4 Relay

Date: Mon May 25 2026 - 04:22:15 EST


From: Joshua Crofts <joshua.crofts1@xxxxxxxxx>

Move IIO device registration to the end of the probe() function to
follow standard driver teardown/setup ordering and improve driver
logic. 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.
