Hi Shreeya,
This is now technically correct which is great.
I would make one minor change to make it slightly easier to read.
The read / write frequency functions now require the buf_lock to
be held. That's not obvious so I would avoid this but moving
the locking inside the functions where it is then clear that
they are taking the unlocked forms of the register read/ write.
This would also then make it clear why the normal locked form
of _read_reg_8 is fine in the read_freq case but not the
write_freq case. (Hence just use the normal locked form
for the read and don't explicitly take the locks when
reading the frequency - leave it to the register read function)
Thanks,
Jonathan
