Hi all,

This patch series improves resource cleanup and error handling in the
SSP IIO SPI driver by adopting the recently introduced cleanup
helpers.

The changes focus on making probe/remove paths more robust and easier
to reason about by reducing manual unwind logic and ensuring that locks
and dynamically allocated resources are released consistently across
all exit paths.

Key highlights of this series:

- Reuse preallocate rx buffer for SPI transfer instead of allocating new
DMA memory in interrupt context for write transaction between AP <-> HUB.
- Use guard() helpers to automatically release mutexes on scope exit,
avoiding missing unlocks on error paths.
- Address minor codestyle warnings introduced or exposed by the cleanup
refactoring.

Changes in v4:
- Update sequence and make checkpatch style fix in base change
- Split WARNING and CHECK change with input of Andy as 0001 and 0002
- 0003: Use guard() instead of scoped_guard()
- 0004: Use preallocated buffer to stash memory allocation

No functional behavior changes are intended.

Testing:
- Compiled with W=1
- Build-tested on QEMU x86_64

Based on:
<linux-v7.0-rc5>

Feedback and reviews are very welcome.

Thanks,
Sanjay Chitroda
