The pattern used in this device does not quite fit in the iio_device_claim_direct_mode() typical usage. In this case, iio_buffer_enabled() was being used not to prevent the raw access but to allow it. Hence to get rid of the 'mlock' we need to: 1. Use iio_device_claim_direct_mode() to check if direct mode can be claimed and if we can return -EINVAL (as the original code); 2. Make sure that buffering is not disabled while doing a raw read. For that, we can make use of the local lock that already exists. While at it, fixed a minor coding style complain...
