The IIO subsystem is redefining iio_dev->mlock to be used by
the IIO core only for protecting device operating mode changes.
ie. Changes between INDIO_DIRECT_MODE, INDIO_BUFFER_* modes.
In this driver, mlock was being used to protect hardware state
changes. Replace it with a lock in the devices global data.

Hi Simran,
Please post all revision histories below the --- not just the most
recent.
Does this lock enforce the needed "atomicity" in the write_frequency
function? I read Jonathans comment on a previous revision about
"ensuring the spi bus frequency and sampling frequency of the device
are changed in an atomic fashion"
Is it possible for another spi bus transaction (read or write) to
occur between the read and write in write_frequency?

By introducing another lock I am protecting read_modify_write and
in this way also protecting the designated register that we are about
to write.

Gargi has also come up with a solution.

I see it protecting this path from being re-entered. My uncertainty
is about other paths to read/write.

My suggestion would be to wait for feedback on Gargi's patch.
(See the Outreachy log about creating similar solutions.)
We will not be able to close on this set of patches during the
Outreachy application window. You can continue to push for closure
beyond the March 30th date as your time allows :)

It is a close choice between the two approaches. In some ways
yours is easier to follow, but Gargi's is more elegant.
Lets go with that one for consistency across similar drivers,
but if you had been the original author and done it this way
I certainly wouldn't bother asking you to change it!
So in conclusion both patches are good.
