[PATCH v4 2/3] counter: 104-quad-8: Add lock guards - differential encoder cable

From: Syed Nayyar Waris
Date: Fri Mar 13 2020 - 08:01:44 EST


Add lock protection from race conditions in the 104-quad-8 counter
driver for differential encoder cable status changes. There is no IRQ
handling so use spin_lock calls for protection.

Fixes: bbef69e088c3 ("counter: 104-quad-8: Support Differential Encoder Cable Status")

Changes in v4:
- Shift review-comments section so that it is not saved in commit message.
- Add spin_unlock calls for deadlock avoidance.
- Few changes related to casting.
