[PATCH] tools: iio: iio_generic_buffer: initialize channel array pointer

From: Alison Schofield
Date: Tue Jul 26 2016 - 23:17:56 EST


Uninitialized channel pointer causes segmentation fault when we
call free(channel) during cleanup() with no channels initialized.
This happens when you exit early for usage errors. Initialize
the pointer to NULL when it is declared.
