This device operates in DIRECT_MODE and BUFFER_HARDWARE mode.
Replace usages of iio_dev->mlock with iio_device_{claim|release}_direct_mode()
helper functions to guarantee DIRECT mode and consequently protect
BUFFER mode too.
Add and use a device private lock to protect against conflicting access of the
state data.
This helps with IIO subsystem 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.
Protect changing of attributes inside ad5933_store(). Attributes
can no longer be changed while in buffered mode.
Remove lock from ad5933_work() because buffer mode should be enabled
when we reach this, and claiming DIRECT mode in all the other places
should protect it.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
