the meson_saradc driver is using a MMIO regmap so read failures are
unlikely (unless there's a bug in the code somewhere)
did you find these issues with some static code analysis tool or did
you experience a real world problem?

why not add "ret" to the variables in the line above?
so this could be shortened to (which is also consistent with the
coding style in meson_saradc):
int ret, regval, timeout = 10000;

this is a big problem because we're returning with &indio_dev->mlock held
see the "timeout < 0" block below

this removes an empty line between the variable declarations and the
first code (comment)
also "ret" is already defined in the line before
(I haven't compile-tested this myself yet but I'm surprised that this
doesn't give an error or at least a warning)

this function doesn't return "int" but irqreturn_t
the only allowed values are: [0]
