From: Mohammad Shahid <mdshahid03@gmail.com>

The Xillybus uses nonseekable_open() in xillybus_open()
for non-seekable channels. However,its read and write
callbacks maintain their own buffer positions and do not
use the file position passed by VFS.

Use stream_open() to mark these channels as streams and
disable unnecessary file position handling,allowing read
and write operations to run concurrently.

This issue is reported by stream_open.cocci script as a
potential deadlock between read and write operations.
