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 spin_lock calls are used for protection.

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

Signed-off-by: Syed Nayyar Waris <syednwaris@gmail.com>

Split the patch from generic driver interface and clock prescaler
related code changes. Also, include more code statements for protection
using spin_lock calls and remove protection from few code statements as
they are unnecessary.

Hello Syed,

Just like in the first patch, move these comments below the "---" line.

You can redeclare priv whenever you need to avoid these casts:

	struct quad8_iio *const priv = counter->priv;
	...
	spin_lock(&priv->lock);
	...
	spin_unlock(&priv->lock);

> +
> +	disabled = !(priv->cable_fault_enable & BIT(channel_id));
> +

>  		return -EINVAL;

This return statement can cause a deadlock. You can avoid that by
calling spin_unlock before the return:

	if (disabled) {
		spin_unlock(&priv->lock);
		return -EINVAL;
	}

Sincerely,
