Subject: [PATCH v9] staging: iio: adis16060: Remove iio_dev mlock and
 refactor code

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.

In the driver, buf_lock protects both the adis16060_spi_write() and
adis16060_spi_read() functions and both are always called in pair.
First write, then read. Refactor the code to have one single function
adis16060_spi_write_then_read() protected by the buf_lock. This removes
the need for additional locking via mlock, so this locking is removed.

Signed-off-by: simran singhal <singhalsimran0@...il.com>
---

 v9:
   -Change the name of function from adis16060_spi_write_than_read()
    to adis16060_spi_write_then_read(). change "than" to "then" as
    its time depended.
   -Add mutex_unlock
