When doing simple conversions, the driver did not acknowledge the DRDY irq.
If this irq is not acked, it will be left pending, and as soon as a trigger
is enabled, the irq handler will be called, it doesn't know why this irq
has occurred because no channel is pending, and then we will have irq loop
and board will hang.

I'm curious as to how things were working before. Does this only occur
if we do a raw_read whilst the buffer is enabled?
No. The situation is that the read raw does not properly cleans itself
up after it's done.
The DRDY bit is cleared only when LCDR (last converted data ) is being read.
Even if we read the per channel conversion data, the LCDR still needs to
be read to clear this irq status.
The driver does not use the DRDY irq but this irq status is still being
set in the status register.
I would have assumed when it's not enabled, the irq would be masked and
never generated in the first place...
It may be that what we actually need to do is to prevent read_raw accesses
when the buffer is enabled (like lots of other drivers do precisely to
avoid this sort of condition). The problem there comes if we have
existing applications doing this combination as we are then breaking
userspace. If that's the case we'll need to be a bit more clever.
Hammering down an irq state in a non irq handling path isn't a good
solution.
Ok, I will move the clearing of the DRDY (LCDR read) in the irq path
then, and send a v2.
