Marcin Niestroj 4eecbe8188 iio: trigger: fix NULL pointer dereference in iio_trigger_write_current()
In case oldtrig == trig == NULL (which happens when we set none
trigger, when there is already none set) there is a NULL pointer
dereference during iio_trigger_put(trig). Below is kernel output when
this occurs:

To fix that problem call iio_trigger_put(trig) only when trig is not
NULL.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
