The pattern used in this device does not quite fit in the
iio_device_claim_direct_mode() typical usage. In this case,
iio_buffer_enabled() was being used not to prevent the raw access but to
allow it. Hence, let's make use of the new
iio_device_claim_buffer_mode() API to make sure we stay in buffered mode
during the complete read.

Note that we are shadowing the error code returned by
iio_device_claim_buffer_mode() so that we keep the original one
(-EAGAIN). The reason is that some userspace stack might already be
relying on this particular code so that we are not taking chances and
leave it alone.

The above line widths seem a bit arbitrary to me. But I think it's due
to function names in them.
Perhaps you can make them less deviated by shuffling a bit, like
moving "but to" to the next line.

I think a summary of replacing error code is good to have here, like

/*
 * Replacing -EBUSY or other error code
 * returned by iio_device_claim_buffer_mode()
 * because user space may rely on the current
 * one.
 */

This might make sense... I'll wait for Jonathan's review to see how
strong he feels about this. Maybe he can also add it when applying.
