Hi Anchal,  I'm going to be picky on these, because I sense you
are getting on a roll here and we should establish a pattern.

- see spelling above.
- include driver name in IIO commit paths.
  Caveat: if the subdir and driver names get so crazy long that you
  can't fit a good commit message, then leave off the subdir.
- tab out the comment instead of space.
- At first I thought tx and rx were kind of terse, but when I scroll
  up and see the comment above, it all makes sense. 
- I might have said 'protect transfer buffers'

Please update with the minor cleanups and resend to the wider
'CC list as suggested in your previous patch.
