Replace the code that guarantees the device stays in direct mode with iio_device_claim_direct_mode() which does same. Signed-off-by: Alison Schofield <amsfield22@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Daniel Baluta <daniel.baluta@xxxxxxxxx> --- Peter: I was not clear if we want to keep the data->mutex lock in addition to claiming direct mode. I see that lock assuring exclusivity amongst a few other tasks in the driver. Let me know if this needs both locks.
