Add a parameter to at91_adc_read_info_raw() to specify if st->lock mutex
need to be acquired. This prepares for the addition of temperature sensor
code which will re-use at91_adc_read_info_raw() function to read 2 voltages
for determining the real temperature.  

This looks like a potential lock dependency issue.
iio_device_claim_direct_mode() takes an internal iio lock, and
you then take st->lock.

If you are going to invert that locking order in another path
you have a deadlock.

So rethink this. If you want to reuse the code you'll need to factor
it out to a separate function that takes none of the locks then
take all locks needed in each call path (in the same order).  

OK, I'll check it.

Hi Claudia,

Minor kernel mailing list etiquette thing is that there is no need
to reply to say you'll check something or that you agree with review
feedback.  Just generates more emails to read.  Reviewers assume
anything you don't comment on their feedback will be addressed in
next version of the code!

Thanks,

Jonathan
