Hi Haowen Bai,

Please add a fixes tag.  Also, this thread is getting rather deep
and illustrates why I tend to ask for each new version of IIO patches
to be posted without replying to previous thread (so start a new thread).

One issue below with locking.

Thanks,

Jonathan

mutex_unlock() ?

I'd expect something like
	if (thresh_reg_l < 0) {
		err = thresh_reg_l;
		goto error_unlock;
	}
