I'd argue that this is a bit redundant, because `dev` is NULL, the
return below (return dev) will also return NULL.

Also, subject title is incorrect.
Always use:
$ git log --oneline drivers/iio/industrialio-core.c
Use the most frequently tag/subject from the output of above
command.
"iio: core: ...." would be fine.

Agreed. I will read the code more carefully from next time.
Thank you :)

Yes will do that from next time. I was of the understanding that this header
was good enough.
Thank you,

Not needed, as the 'if (dev)' statement fails, dev is already null.
