[PATCH v4 0/9] iio: enable context analysis for all drivers

From: Rupesh Majhi

Jonathan asked for the qcom-spmi-adc5-gen3 fix to become the first
patch of a series that enables context analysis across IIO [1]. This
is that series.

With CONTEXT_ANALYSIS := y in every drivers/iio Makefile, testing gives
256 warnings and 2 errors in 126 files (x86_64 allmodconfig, clang
23.1).

Patch 1 fixes the two qcom errors, as v3 did, but names the lock the
way Bart suggested [2]. Patch 2 annotates the two conditional mode
claims in iio.h, which accounts for 241 of the warnings, in 120 files.
Patch 3 covers the core helpers behind them. Patches 4 to 8 annotate
lock helpers in kx022a, meson_saradc, the DMA buffer, opt3001 and
veml6031x00. None of them is a locking bug. Patch 9 enables the
analysis. The common and sensorhubs Makefiles only list subdirectories
and are left alone.

With the series applied all 726 files build without warnings, also
with W=1. bma180, ab8500-gpadc and intel_dc_ti_adc are not in
allmodconfig and were built on their own. gcc W=1 builds show no
warnings. Removing an unlock or a release is still reported, tried in
kx022a, ms5611 and veml6031x00.

Bart's thread-safety branch [3] has most of the same annotations. For
meson_saradc and the DMA buffer he uses __context_unsafe(). Here they
name the lock, so the helpers are checked, and for meson_saradc the
callers too.

Written with help from an LLM coding assistant.

v4: was a single qcom patch, now the first of nine
