[ Upstream commit 9780a23ed5a0a0a63683e078f576719a98d4fb70 ] .read_raw()/.write_raw() could be called asynchronously from user space or other in kernel drivers. Without locking on st->lock these could be called asynchronously while there is a conversion in progress. Read will be harmless but changing registers while conversion is in progress may lead to inconsistent results. Thus, to avoid this lock st->lock.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
