This needs to happen before you start the transfer.

What exactly is the spinlock protecting against here? Concurrent runs of
exynos_adc_isr? This is probably not issue in the first place.

What you want to protect against is that completion is completed between the
call to INIT_COMPLETION() and the start of a new conversion. So the sections
that need to be under the spinlock are the complete call here and the point
from INIT_COMPLETION until the transfer is started in exynos_read_raw(). Make
sure to use spin_lock_irq there.
