Merge tag 'iio-for-4.3b-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio into staging-next
Jonathan writes: Second set of new device support, features and cleanup for the 4.3 cycle. Take 2 also includes a fix set that was too late for the 4.2 cycle. As we had a lot of tools and docs work in this set, I have broken those out into their own categories in this description. Fixes from the pull request '4th set of IIO fixes for the 4.2 cycle'. * Poll functions for both event chardev and the buffer one were returning negative error codes (via a positive value). * A recent change to lsiio adding some error handling that was wrong and stopped the tool working. * bmg160 was missing some dependencies in Kconfig * berlin2-adc had a misshandled register (wrote a value rather than a bitmap) New device support * TI opt3001 light sensor * TXC PA12 ALS and proximity sensor. * mcp3301 ADC support (in mcp320x driver) * ST lsm303agr accelerometer and magnetometer drivers (plus some st-sensors common support to allow different WHOAMI register addresses, devices with fixed scale and allow interrupt equiped magnetometers). * ADIS16305, ADIS16367, ADIS16445IMUs (in the adis16400 driver) * ADIS16266 gyro (in the adis16260 driver) * ADIS16137 gyro (in the adis16136 driver) New functionality * mmc35240 DT bindings. * Inverse unit conversion macros to aid handing of values written to sysfs attributes. Core cleanup * Forward declaration of struct iio_trigger to avoid a compile warning. Driver cleanup / fixes * mxs-lradc - Clarify which parts are supported. - Fix spelling erorrs. - Missing/extra includes - reorder includes - add datasheet name listings for all usable channels (to allow them to be bound by name from consumer drivers) * acpi-als - add some function prefixes as per general iio style. * bmc150_magn - replace a magic value with the existing define. * vf610 - determine possible sample frequencies taking into account the electrical characteristics (defining a minimum sample time) * dht11 - whitespace - additional docs - avoid mulitple assignments in one line - Use the new funciton ktime_get_resolution_ns to cleanup a nasty trick previously used for timing. * Fix all drivers that consider 0 a valid IRQ for historical reasons. * Export I2C module alias info where previously missing (to allow autoprobing) * Export OF module alias info where previously missing. * mmc35240 - switch some variables into arrays to improve readability. * mlx90614 - define some magic numbers for readability. * bmc150_magn - expand area locked by a mutex to cover all the use of the data->buffer. - use descriptive naming for a mask instead of a magic value. * berin2-adc - pass up an error code rather that a generic error - constify the iio_chan_spec - some other little tidy ups. * stk8312 - fix a dependency on triggered buffers in kconfig - add a check for invalid attribute values - improve error handling by returning error codes where possible and return immediately where relevant - rework macro defs to use GENMASK etc - change some variable types to reduce unnecessary casting - clean up code style - drop a local buffer copy for bulk reads and use the one in data->buffer instead. * adis16400 - the adis16448 gyroscope scale was wrong. * adis16480 - some more wrong scales for various parts. * adis16300 - has an undocumented product id and serial number registers so use them. * iio_simple_dummy - fix some wrong code indentation. * bmc150-accel - use the chip ID to detect the chip present rather than verifying the expected part was there. This was in response to a wrong ACPI entry on the WinBook TW100. * mma8452 - fix _get_hp_filter_index - drop a double include - pass up an error code rather than rewriting it - range check input values to attribute writes - register defs tidy up using GENMASK and reordering them to be easier to follow. - various coding style cleanups - put the Kconfig entry in the write place (alphabetically). Tools related * Tools cleanup - drop an explicity NULL comparison, some unnecessary braces, use the ARRAY_SIZE macro, send error messages to stderr instead of dropping them in the middle of normal output. * Fix tools to allow that scale and offset attributes are optional. * More tools fixes including allowing true 32bit data (previously an overflow prevented more than 31bits) * Drop a stray header guard that ended up in a c file. * Make calc_digits static as it isn't exported or in the header. * Set ci_array pointer to NULL after free as a protection against non safe usage of the tools core code. Also convert a double pointer to a single one as the extra level of indirection was unnecessary. Docs * DocBook introduction by Daniel Baluta. Glad we are beginning to draw together some more introductory docs to suplement the various tools / examples. * Drop bytes_per_datum sysfs attribute docs as it no longer exists. * A whole load of missing / fixing of kernel-doc for the core of IIO. * Document the trigger name sysfs attribute in the ABI docs. * Minor typos in the ABI docs related to power down modes.

+ <title>Introduction</title>
+ <para>
+ The main purpose of the Industrial I/O subsystem (IIO) is to provide
+ support for devices that in some sense perform either analog-to-digital
+ conversion (ADC) or digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) or both. The aim
+ is to fill the gap between the somewhat similar hwmon and input
+ subsystems.
+ Hwmon is directed at low sample rate sensors used to monitor and
+ control the system itself, like fan speed control or temperature
+ measurement. Input is, as its name suggests, focused on human interaction
+ input devices (keyboard, mouse, touchscreen). In some cases there is
+ considerable overlap between these and IIO.

+!Finclude/linux/iio/iio.h iio_chan_spec structure.
+ <para>
+ An IIO device channel is a representation of a data channel. An
+ IIO device can have one or multiple channels. For example:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ a thermometer sensor has one channel representing the
+ temperature measurement.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ a light sensor with two channels indicating the measurements in
+ the visible and infrared spectrum.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ an accelerometer can have up to 3 channels representing
+ acceleration on X, Y and Z axes.
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ An IIO channel is described by the <type> struct iio_chan_spec
+ </type>. A thermometer driver for the temperature sensor in the
+ example above would have to describe its channel as follows:
+ <programlisting>
+ static const struct iio_chan_spec temp_channel[] = {
+ {
+ .type = IIO_TEMP,
+ .info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_PROCESSED),
+ },
+ };
+
+ </programlisting>
+ Channel sysfs attributes exposed to userspace are specified in
+ the form of <emphasis>bitmasks</emphasis>. Depending on their
+ shared info, attributes can be set in one of the following masks:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><emphasis>info_mask_separate</emphasis>, attributes will
+ be specific to this channel</listitem>
+ <listitem><emphasis>info_mask_shared_by_type</emphasis>,
+ attributes are shared by all channels of the same type</listitem>
+ <listitem><emphasis>info_mask_shared_by_dir</emphasis>, attributes
+ are shared by all channels of the same direction </listitem>
+ <listitem><emphasis>info_mask_shared_by_all</emphasis>,
+ attributes are shared by all channels</listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ When there are multiple data channels per channel type we have two
+ ways to distinguish between them:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem> set <emphasis> .modified</emphasis> field of <type>
+ iio_chan_spec</type> to 1. Modifiers are specified using
+ <emphasis>.channel2</emphasis> field of the same
+ <type>iio_chan_spec</type> structure and are used to indicate a
+ physically unique characteristic of the channel such as its direction
+ or spectral response. For example, a light sensor can have two channels,
+ one for infrared light and one for both infrared and visible light.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem> set <emphasis>.indexed </emphasis> field of
+ <type>iio_chan_spec</type> to 1. In this case the channel is
+ simply another instance with an index specified by the
+ <emphasis>.channel</emphasis> field.
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ Here is how we can make use of the channel's modifiers:
+ <programlisting>
+ static const struct iio_chan_spec light_channels[] = {
+ {
+ .type = IIO_INTENSITY,
+ .modified = 1,
+ .channel2 = IIO_MOD_LIGHT_IR,
+ .info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW),
+ .info_mask_shared = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ),
+ },
+ {
+ .type = IIO_INTENSITY,
+ .modified = 1,
+ .channel2 = IIO_MOD_LIGHT_BOTH,
+ .info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW),
+ .info_mask_shared = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ),
+ },
+ {
+ .type = IIO_LIGHT,
+ .info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_PROCESSED),
+ .info_mask_shared = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ),
+ },
+
+ }
+ </programlisting>
+ This channel's definition will generate two separate sysfs files
+ for raw data retrieval:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <filename>/sys/bus/iio/iio:deviceX/in_intensity_ir_raw</filename>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <filename>/sys/bus/iio/iio:deviceX/in_intensity_both_raw</filename>
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ one file for processed data:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <filename>/sys/bus/iio/iio:deviceX/in_illuminance_input
+ </filename>
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ and one shared sysfs file for sampling frequency:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <filename>/sys/bus/iio/iio:deviceX/sampling_frequency.
+ </filename>
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Here is how we can make use of the channel's indexing:
+ <programlisting>
+ static const struct iio_chan_spec light_channels[] = {
+ {
+ .type = IIO_VOLTAGE,
+ .indexed = 1,
+ .channel = 0,
+ .info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW),
+ },
+ {
+ .type = IIO_VOLTAGE,
+ .indexed = 1,
+ .channel = 1,
+ .info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW),
+ },
+ }
+ </programlisting>
+ This will generate two separate attributes files for raw data
+ retrieval:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <filename>/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/in_voltage0_raw</filename>,
+ representing voltage measurement for channel 0.

+ In many situations it is useful for a driver to be able to
+ capture data based on some external event (trigger) as opposed
+ to periodically polling for data. An IIO trigger can be provided
+ by a device driver that also has an IIO device based on hardware
+ generated events (e.g. data ready or threshold exceeded) or
+ provided by a separate driver from an independent interrupt
+ source (e.g. GPIO line connected to some external system, timer
+ interrupt or user space writing a specific file in sysfs). A
+ trigger may initiate data capture for a number of sensors and
+ also it may be completely unrelated to the sensor itself.
+ </para>

+ triggers can be very different depending on type there are few
+ standard attributes that we can describe here:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <emphasis>name</emphasis>, trigger name that can be later

+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>

+ <listitem><function> iio_buffer_setup_ops</function>, the buffer setup

+ </listitem>
+ <listitem><function>sensor_iio_pollfunc</function>, the function that
+ will be used as top half of poll function. It should do as little
+ processing as possible, because it runs in interrupt context. The most
+ common operation is recording of the current timestamp and for this reason
+ one can use the IIO core defined <function>iio_pollfunc_store_time
+ </function> function.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem><function>sensor_trigger_handler</function>, the function that
+ will be used as bottom half of the poll function. This runs in the
+ context of a kernel thread and all the processing takes place here.
+ It usually reads data from the device and stores it in the internal
+ buffer together with the timestamp recorded in the top half.

+ and directories for each sensor type (e.g. accel, magnetometer,

+ used by user space applications.
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
