Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] staging: iio: ad7816: serialize ad7816_spi_read() with a mutex
Date: Mon,  3 Aug 2026 15:15:19 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803121520.6274-2-abdelnasserhussein11@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260803121520.6274-1-abdelnasserhussein11@gmail.com>

The ad7816_spi_read() path performs a sequence of SPI transfers and GPIO
state changes that must not be interleaved with another read operation.

Without serialization, concurrent callers can interfere with each other,
leading to inconsistent device state and incorrect data being returned.

Add a mutex to struct ad7816_chip_info and hold it across the entire read
sequence to ensure exclusive access to the device.
