[PATCH v2] iio: adc: qcom-spmi-adc5-gen3: fix lock annotations on mutex helpers

From: Rupesh Majhi

Date: Wed Oct 21 2026 - 01:29:46 EST


Since commit 5b63d0ae94cc ("compiler-context-analysis: Remove Sparse
support"), __acquires() and __releases() only feed context analysis.
Their argument is parsed before the function body, where only dev is in
scope, so with analysis enabled for this file the build fails:

error: use of undeclared identifier 'adc'

These helpers take and drop the lock for the ADC_TM driver, which only
sees their declarations in the header. Naming the lock there would
mean exposing struct adc5_chip, and with no annotation at all the
analysis flags the unbalanced locking. Mark both __context_unsafe().

v2: explain __context_unsafe() in commit message (Andy)
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/20261003214516.128573-1-zoone.rupert@xxxxxxxxx/

Found by building with CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_qcom-spmi-adc5-gen3.o=y, which the
driver does not set today. Build tested only, no hardware here.
