Hmm. I'm really not sure on how to handle this... The problem to my mind
is knowing when it has triggered so we can know that it makes sense to
put the next reading in.... Anyhow bear with me...

I think the same arguement holds for this as equivalent input devices.
There we have always argued that if you need multichannel synchronized
capture (which is 'kind' of what we are looking at here) then you have
to use the buffered interface.

I think we need buffered output for this to fit nicely in the subsystem.
It definitely isn't a correct use of the event triggers.

That means we really need to figure out the ABI for buffered output and
get that sorted. To my mind it shouldn't be too tricky and should look
much like buffered input, just with us writing to a fifo from userspace
rather than reading from it.

The DMA side of that can come later, in a similar fashion to how it is
added for the ADC side of things. We can also have 'providers'
(equivalent of 'consumers' on the ADC side), perhaps giving a neat way
of describing DDS devices (I'm not so sure on this yet).

So to my mind, if you are not in buffered mode and do a sysfs write it
should be 'instant'. If in buffered mode, then it will wait on the
trigger.

So the complex side of things is what we 'know' about the data flow.
1) Case you have here. We want to do direct write through to the device,
but have no way of knowing (or do we?) that it has triggered and written
the data to the output. So we have no way of knowing we can push the next
value in from a fifo yet... In this case I guess the solution might be to
have a fifo length of 0. That is data flows straight to hardware.

2) Simple stream case - always enough data in the fifo and we get an interrupt
to signify that the previous trigger happened.

3) Case where we are only just keeping up. So we won't have data in the fifo
until sometime after the previous trigger. In this case we need the fifo to
push straight through if there isn't data ready to go.

4) Case where we are not pushing data fast enough. Just don't update?

That last case 4 is nasty as the reason we typically want to do triggered
DAC updates is to ensure we always have valid states in some control loop,
but we might get a race here where one DAC has a value ready to go on a trigger
and another one isn't quite ready. In this case we might want to hold off
until all are ready... So there might need to be a sanity check that everyone
on a given trigger is ready to go - an extra callback.

So a bit fiddly and I'm not sure I like the representation of through flow as
a fifo of 0 length... (can't think of a neater way though atm)

Anyhow, time to sort output buffers out once and for all I think if we can
get a reasonable group of people together who have the time.

Sorry Fabrice that this has hit your driver! Perhaps we can figure
enough out to be able to at least get the basics (i.e. patches 1,2) in as
asap.

Can we get here otherwise?
If not I'd prefer to either see an error on the other case
(perhaps simply return IRQ_NONE)
