The final intent is to localize all buffer ops into the industrialio-buffer.c file, to be able to add support for multiple buffers per IIO device. We only need a chardev if we need to support buffers and/or events. With this change, a chardev will be created only if an IIO buffer is attached OR an event_interface is configured. Otherwise, no chardev will be created, and the IIO device will get registered with the 'device_add()' call. Quite a lot of IIO devices don't really need a chardev, so this is a minor improvement to the IIO core, as the IIO device will take up (slightly) fewer resources.
