[PATCH] drivers: mfd: ti_am335x_tscadc: increase ADC ref clock to 24MHz

From: Mugunthan V N
Date: Mon Oct 24 2016 - 02:03:19 EST


Increase ADC reference clock from 3MHz to 24MHz so that the
sampling rates goes up from 100K samples per second to 800K
samples per second on AM335x and AM437x SoC.

Also increase opendelay for touchscreen configuration to
equalize the increase in ADC reference clock frequency,
which results in the same amount touch events reported via
evtest on AM335x GP EVM.

This patch depends on ADC DMA patch series [1]

Without DMA support, when ADC ref clock is set at 24MHz, I am
seeing fifo overflow as CPU is not able to pull the ADC samples.
This answers that DMA support is must for ADC to consume the
samples generated at 24MHz with no open, step delay or
averaging with patch [2].

Measured the performance with the iio_generic_buffer with the
patch [3] applied
