#1451015 — [PATCH] tools: iio: iio_generic_buffer: initialize channel array pointer

Subject[PATCH] tools: iio: iio_generic_buffer: initialize channel array pointer
Message-ID<rZny1-2o5-1@gated-at.bofh.it>
Uninitialized channel pointer causes segmentation fault when we
call free(channel) during cleanup() with no channels initialized.
This happens when you exit early for usage errors.  Initialize
the pointer to NULL when it is declared.
