Hello Syed,
Just like in the first patch, move these comments below the "---" line.

You can redeclare priv whenever you need to avoid these casts:
struct quad8_iio *const priv = counter->priv; ... spin_lock(&priv->lock); ... spin_unlock(&priv->lock);
> + > + disabled = !(priv->cable_fault_enable & BIT(channel_id)); > + > if (disabled) > return -EINVAL;
This return statement can cause a deadlock. You can avoid that by calling spin_unlock before the return:
if (disabled) { spin_unlock(&priv->lock); return -EINVAL; }
