I think we should :

1) First switch the drvdata->mode to a normal type from local_t. Using an
atomic type for mode is completely unnecessary and comes with the overhead
of barriers/synchronisation instructions, while all accesses, including read/write
are performed under the drvdata->spinlock. I have a patch already for this, which
I plan to send it soon.

and

2) Do something like :

void  tmc_disable_etX_sink()
{
	if (drvdata->mode != CS_MODE_DISABLED) {
		tmc_etX_disable_hw(drvdata);
		drvdata->mode = CS_MODE_DISABLED;
	}
}

Leaving the tmc_etX_disable_hw() untouched.
