[PATCH v3 3/3] counter: 104-quad-8: Add lock guards for filter clock prescaler

[Syed Nayyar Waris]

Add lock protection from race conditions in the 104-quad-8 counter
driver for filter clock prescaler related changes. There is no IRQ
handling so used spin_lock calls for protection.

Fixes: 9b74dddf79be ("counter: 104-quad-8: Support Filter Clock
Prescaler")

Split the patch from generic interface and differential encoder cable
status changes. Also, include more code statements for protection using
spin_lock calls and remove protection from few code statements which are
unnecessary.

Hello Syed,

Remove the review comments from the commit message and I think this
patch is all right. You can also extend the Fixes line so that it
doesn't wrap around. Add the following Signed-off-by line underneath
yours and it'll remind me that I've already reviewed this patch when you
submit v4 of your patchset:
