Fixes: 132d44dc6966 ("iio: adc: ad_sigma_delta: Check for previous ready signals")
That commit moved keep_cs_asserted = false to the new out_unlock: label that runs
after set_mode(IDLE) and disable_one(). It also introduced the err_unlock: path in
ad_sd_buffer_postenable() without cleanup of those flags.
