Subject: [PATCH 1/3] iio: adc: hx711: optimize sampling of data

Fix bug in sampling function hx711_cycle() when interrupt occures while
PD_SCK is high. If PD_SCK is high for at least 60 us power down mode of
the sensor is entered which in turn leads to a wrong measurement.

Move query of DOUT at the latest point of time which is at the end of
PD_SCK low period.
