[PATCH 4.11 66/78] staging: iio: ad7152: Fix deadlock in ad7152_write_raw_samp_freq()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexey Khoroshilov <khoroshilov@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 95264c8c6a9040e84edda883dbbe9d193c41f46c upstream.

ad7152_write_raw_samp_freq() is called by ad7152_write_raw() with
chip->state_lock held. So, there is unavoidable deadlock when
ad7152_write_raw_samp_freq() locks the mutex itself.

The patch removes unneeded locking.
