Auchhhh!!! Thanks for catching this... However, the Fixes tag is
pointing to the wrong place. I'm fairly sure I introduced this bug in 

commit b600bd7eb3335 ("iio: adis: do not disabe IRQs in 'adis_init()'")

This was where the call to adis_enable_irq() was moved to
__adis_initial_startup() and effectively creating the deadlock for some
devices (adis->data->unmasked_drdy is not set)...


I guess I did not saw this when bringing in the change because I
probably tested the full series on some device supported by adis16475.c
where this won't trigger.

>From a quick look I think it's safe to drop adis_initial_startup() as
it is always called during probe() before registering the IIO device.
We could also just create an unlocked version of adis_enable_irq()
(since we don't need to grab the lock in this path) but likely not
worth the trouble.
