I like this idea. This will rid us from duplicating code, and we could also
use a common DT node for D1 and T113.

Actually there is no special reason. I just made it in the same way as
in the sun4i-gpadc-iio driver.

Sorry I didn't quite get it :)

Thanks for that suggestion.

Yes, we could. Thanks for the remark.

This lock is used in others ADC drivers to protects a read access from
ocurring before another one has finished.

Just I wrote above, I made it in the same way as in the
sun4i-gpadc-iio driver

Thanks for the remarks, I'll fix this in the next version.
