f07b60b7c3 iio: hid-sensors: Prevent crash during hot-unplug
When hid sensor hub is unplugged, there is a crash in
iio_device_unregister_trigger_consumer.
In a typical IIO driver when remove is called, it will unregister and free
trigger and then it will call iio_device_free.
The function iio_trigger_free() will free the allocated memory for trigger.
If this trigger was assigned to iio_dev->trig, then it should be set to NULL.
Othewise when iio_device_free() is called later, it finally calls
iio_device_unregsister_trigger(), which checks for
       if (indio_dev->trig)
                iio_trigger_put(indio_dev->trig);
If indio_dev->trig is not set to NULL, it calls iio_trigger_put on a bad
pointer causing crash.
This scenerio can happen in any driver, which is storing trigger pointer in
iio_dev structure and following current procedure during remove.

73c6768b71 iio: hid-sensors: Common attribute and trigger
This patch contains the common code, which is used by all HID sensors.
There are some common set of attributes, which every hid sensor
needs it. This patch contains all such attributes processing.
Also the trigger interface is common among all HID sensors. This
patch contains common trigger functions utilized by all HID sensors.
