Hi Syed,

Thank you for your submission. I have some changes that should be made
to this patch before we accept it.

When you write a commit message and title, keep it in the present tense;
you can also remove the "Testing: " portion of the title since it's not
needed:

counter: 104-quad-8: Add lock protection

Add protection for quad8_iio configurations from race conditions
in the 104-quad-8 counter driver. There is no IRQ handling so
spin_lock calls are used for protection.

As for the code changes in this patch, it will be good to protect all
the port I/O calls (outb/inb) in this driver in addition to the
quad8_iio configurations. The reason is that ACCES 104-QUAD-8 devices
use a byte pointer register to coordinate access to the data registers,
so these register states should be kept locked so that they are not
corrupted while accessing and modifying data on the device.
