The IIO subsystem is redefining iio_dev->mlock to be used by
the IIO core only for protecting device operating mode changes.
ie. Changes between INDIO_DIRECT_MODE, INDIO_BUFFER_* modes.

In this driver, mlock was being used to protect hardware state
changes. Replace it with buf_lock in the devices global data.

As buf_lock protects both the adis16060_spi_write() and
adis16060_spi_read() functions and both are always called in
pair. First write, then read. Thus, refactor the code to have
one single function adis16060_spi_write_than_read() which is
protected by the existing buf_lock.

Removed nested locks as the function adis16060_read_raw call
a lock on &st->buf_lock and then calls the function
adis16060_spi_write which again tries to get hold
of the same lock.

Subject line needs subsystem and driver.
Subject and log message can be improved.

This was done.  So, you were able to obsolete the need for mlock
by creating the paired function.

^^^^ this was not done.  Yes, you avoided nested locks through
proper coding, but we don't want to give the impression in the
log message that there was a pre-existing nested lock issue.

I did checkpatch & compile it...but looked no further yet.

Simran,
I see v7.  Needs subsystem (iio) and to nitpick, driver name
is "adis16060" ;) Other comments still apply. 
Please append all version histories below the --- for review.
v7:
v6:
.
.
v2:
