With this change, calling iio_device_attach_buffer() will actually attach
more buffers.
Right now this doesn't do any validation of whether a buffer is attached
twice; maybe that can be added later (if needed). Attaching a buffer more
than once should yield noticeably bad results.
The first buffer is the legacy buffer, so a reference is kept to it.
At this point, accessing the data for the extra buffers (that are added
after the first one) isn't possible yet.
The iio_device_attach_buffer() is also changed to return an error code,
which for now is -ENOMEM if the array could not be realloc-ed for more
buffers.
To adapt to this new change iio_device_attach_buffer() is called last in
all place where it's called. The realloc failure is a bit difficult to
handle during un-managed calls when unwinding, so it's better to have this
as the last error in the setup_buffer calls.
At this point, no driver should call iio_device_attach_buffer() directly,
it should call one of the {devm_}iio_triggered_buffer_setup() or
devm_iio_kfifo_buffer_setup() or devm_iio_dmaengine_buffer_setup()
functions. This makes iio_device_attach_buffer() a bit easier to handle.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
