Subject: [PATCH 5.4 77/88] iio: dln2-adc: Fix lockdep complaint

From: Noralf Trønnes <noralf@...nnes.org>

commit 59f92868176f191eefde70d284bdfc1ed76a84bc upstream.

When reading the voltage:

$ cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device0/in_voltage0_raw

Lockdep complains:

[  153.910616] ======================================================
[  153.916918] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
[  153.923221] 5.14.0+ #5 Not tainted
[  153.926692] ------------------------------------------------------
[  153.932992] cat/717 is trying to acquire lock:
[  153.937525] c2585358 (&indio_dev->mlock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: iio_device_claim_direct_mode+0x28/0x44
[  153.946541]
               but task is already holding lock:
[  153.952487] c2585860 (&dln2->mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: dln2_adc_read_raw+0x94/0x2bc [dln2_adc]
[  153.961152]
               which lock already depends on the new lock.

Fix this by not calling into the iio core underneath the dln2->mutex lock.
