I wasn't really sure about your comment related to the lock description
here.
I see we are using these locks in read_raw and write_raw functions only and
hence I've added the above comment.

A lock should always ensure consistency of data (either in software or in
hardware registers) so that we don't end up with odd results due to race
conditions between multiple writers / readers.

The comment for a lock should call out what 'data' is being protected.

In this particular case I'm not sure what that is.

Take the *_get_lux() call in read_raw()

That performs a pair of calls to _read_data(). The _read_data() calls
just check for valid data and then read the channels. The i2c accesses will
be protected by the underlying bus locks and I can't otherwise see anything
in those calls that needs protecting with locks (all the data is local).

Finally we have some maths done with data->als_gain_fac and data->int_time_fac

als_gain_fac is currently a constant in the driver (it's set only in probe I think).

int_time_fac is more interesting.
That is set alongside a register write in _set_int_time().

So I 'think' the entire purpose of the lock is to ensure that the
value of integration time doesn't not change whilst a reading is progress
(so we can do the right maths).

Hence the comment should be something along the lines of

/*
* Ensure cached value of integration time is consistent with hardware setting
* and remains constant during a measurement of Lux.
*/

This extra detail makes it easy to tell where the lock must be taken which
is very useful for anyone modifying the driver in the future.

If they expand the scope of the lock, then they should also update the
documentation to match.
