The problem seems to arise when I am trying to access ADC continuously 
without delay.
When I tried to access ADC continuously, the "Resource temporarily 
unavailable" error remained constant and I was not able to read ADC unless 
I rebooted the system.

If I give a delay after reading each ADC value,
Occassionally I do get "Resource temporarily unavailable" error but it just 
remains for a few seconds and I am able to read ADC again normally.
