Don't do reorder stuff past iio_device_register.
It generates a bunch of it's own issues wrt to functionality.
The iio_device_register() call is the last one because the device must be in a
state to correctly deal with all userspace actions by the time they are made
available.
Harden the driver to not call IIO core functions for false events if that
is easy to do, but there shouldn't be an issue if you do (if there is we should
address that in the IIO core).
