nit: As I mentioned in the previous series, could we not avoid the goto in the middle of the
function,by doing :

	if (!drvdata->buf) {
		unlock();
		buf = alloc();
		if (!buf) return -ENOMEM;
		lock();
	}

It would be good to unify the exit points as we do similar steps.
	if (drvdata->reading) {
		rc = -EBUSY;
		goto out;
	}

nit: Same as above.

I am not too particular about the above changes, but would be good to have them
reader friendly.

Either way,
