Trivial only.

There is not a lot of shared code in here between state true/false
I'd split as two helpers.

if (state)
ret = veml6031x00_event_enable();
else
ret = veml6031x00_even_disable();

This dance vs a goto is I guess due to the mutex. I'd clean it up
by using a helper function for the stuff done under the guard(). The
helper can do goto based cleanup and avoid repetition plus reduce chance
of missing cleaning something up on error. The outer function can
still use guard().

Sashiko is correct that we loose a reference here on error and right now
there is no IIO core infrastructure to solve this

Why are we setting a default trigger? Userspace tools should be
fine looking for a data ready trigger, or choosing a different one if they
would prefer. Added advantage of not setting it here is the reference count
issue goes away :)
