It is often the case that the driver wants to be sure a device stays in direct mode while it is executing a task or series of tasks. To accomplish this today, the driver performs this sequence: 1) take the device state lock, 2) verify it is not in a buffered mode, 3) execute some tasks, and 4) release that lock. This patch introduces a pair of helper functions that simplify these steps and make it more semantically expressive. iio_device_claim_direct_mode() If the device is not in any buffered mode it is guaranteed to stay that way until iio_release_direct_mode() is called. iio_device_release_direct_mode() Release the claim. Device is no longer guaranteed to stay in direct mode. Signed-off-by: Alison Schofield <amsfield22@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron <jic23@kernel.org>
