Another driver with buffered support which means we need to think
harder about what is going on with these locks.

Probably a case for iio_device_claim_direct_mode() as I doubt we want
to enter buffered mode when halfway through this.

Hmm. I wonder what this was meant to protect?

I can't see why we need it if we are claiming direct mode correctly above.
