Subject: [PATCH v5 1/6] iio: addac: stx104: Fix race condition for stx104_write_raw()

The priv->chan_out_states array and actual DAC value can become
mismatched if stx104_write_raw() is called concurrently. Prevent such a
race condition by utilizing a mutex.

Fixes: 97a445dad37a ("iio: Add IIO support for the DAC on the Apex Embedded Systems STX104")
Signed-off-by: William Breathitt Gray <william.gray@...aro.org>
