  - iio: adc: ad_sigma_delta: fix CS held asserted and state leaks In ad_sigma_delta_single_conversion(),
    set_mode(AD_SD_MODE_IDLE) and disable_one() were called from the out: block while keep_cs_asserted was
    still true. This caused any SPI transfer issued by those callbacks to carry cs_change=1, leaving CS
    permanently asserted after the conversion. Fix by moving both calls into the out_unlock: block, after
    keep_cs_asserted is cleared, matching the pattern already used in ad_sd_calibrate(). In the error path of
    ad_sd_buffer_postenable(), if an operation fails after set_mode(AD_SD_MODE_CONTINUOUS) has already
    succeeded (e.g. spi_offload_trigger_enable()), the device is left in continuous conversion mode with CS
    physically asserted. Additionally, bus_locked remaining true after spi_bus_unlock() causes subsequent SPI
    operations to call spi_sync_locked() without the bus lock actually held, allowing concurrent SPI access.
    Fix the error path by clearing keep_cs_asserted first, then calling set_mode(AD_SD_MODE_IDLE) to revert
    the device mode and deassert CS, then clearing bus_locked before releasing the bus. For devices that
    implement neither set_mode nor disable_one (such as MAX11205, which has no physical CS pin), no SPI
    transfer is issued during cleanup and the cs_change flag has no effect on any physical line.
