When hardware buffers are enabled (the cnvst pin being the trigger), one should not mess with the device state by requesting a single channel read. There is already a iio_buffer_enabled() check in *_read_single_value() to merely prevent this situation but the check is inconsistent since buffers can be enabled after the if clause anyway. Instead, use the core mutex by calling iio_device_claim/release_direct_mode().
