[PATCH v2 3/7] iio: core: Match iio_device_claim_*() semantics and implementation

From: Kurt Borja

Date: Thu Dec 11 2025 - 21:45:40 EST


Implement iio_device_claim_buffer_mode() fully inline with the use of
__iio_dev_mode_lock(), which takes care of sparse annotations.

To completely match iio_device_claim_direct() semantics, we need to
also change iio_device_claim_buffer_mode() return semantics to usual
true/false conditional lock semantics.
