I'm not a fan of scoped_guard() because of the hidden for loop in it.
It hides the fact that the break; is breaking out of that for loop.
It would be more clear/obvious written as:
do {
guard(mutex)(&st->slock);
ret = spi_sync(st->spi, &st->ring_msg);
if (ret)
break;
iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp(indio_dev, &st->rx_buf[2],
iio_get_time_ns(indio_dev));
} while (0);

This can return directly instead of using local variable.

Can just return directly here now.

And can return directly here.
