That sounds dangerous as code might just use it without checking properly.
Perhaps take a leaf out of open() and return negative?
What would happen if we just returned an error in this path?

If you get a chance to add a parameter to the tools/iio/ buffer
program that does much the same as above that would be great.

Otherwise a few trivials inline.
Good work on bringing this new approach together so quickly.
It's a lot simpler which is good and still gives us a reasonable interface.
If you can update the example code in tree and perhaps add something to
the main IIO docs that would be great.
Documentation/driver-api/iio/buffers.rst I think.
We'll also (at somepoint) want to do a scrub of the ABI docs to
either include the new paths or make them less specific to incorporate
both.
Thanks,

Why mlock? Might be fine, but this doesn't feel like it is in the normal scope
of that lock. So perhaps a comment on why it makes sense here.

What is this test preventing? I guess it's keeping the flag for the first
buffer in sync with what other buffers will look at, but does anything check
those?
We'll not be able to open this one twice anyway due to the check above.
Perhaps a comment on why this is here?
