[PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 049/273] iio: inkern: fix a NULL dereference on error

[Kamal Mostafa]

4.2.8-ckt5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit d81dac3c1c5295c61b15293074ac2bd3254e1875 upstream.

In twl4030_bci_probe() there are some failure paths where we call
iio_channel_release() with a NULL pointer.  (Apparently, that driver can
opperate without a valid channel pointer).  Let's fix it by adding a
NULL check in iio_channel_release().

Fixes: 2202e1fc5a29 ('drivers: power: twl4030_charger: fix link problems when building as module')
