Re: [PATCH v4 2/2] iio: light: as73211: New driver

[Christian Eggers]

Hi Andy,

thanks for further review. If nobody else sends comments, I'll
publish the next version tonight. Maybe we could clarify the questions
below in time.

Best regards
Christian

without V=1, I get nothing. Neither excess nor missing members
are reported on my system.

added similar define in v5. The array looks like the following now

static const int as73211_samp_freq_avail[] = {
	AS73211_SAMPLE_FREQ_BASE,
	AS73211_SAMPLE_FREQ_BASE * 2,
	AS73211_SAMPLE_FREQ_BASE * 4,
	AS73211_SAMPLE_FREQ_BASE * 8
};

I'm not sure, whether this is possible. as73211_integration_time_1024cyc()
returns the current setting from hardware. as73211_integration_time_us()
calculates the resulting time. But as73211_integration_time_us() is also
called in as73211_integration_time_calc_avail() inside the loop.

checkpatch complains... ignore?

ok

I'm unsure how to solve this. Possible values for gain:

CREG1[7:4]  | gain
-----------------------------
0           | 2048x
1           | 1024x
2           |  512x
...         |  ...
13          |    1x

#define AS73211_CREG1_GAIN_1_NON_SHIFTED 13  // this define is CREG1 related, but not shifted to the right position

static unsigned int as73211_gain(struct as73211_data *data)
{
	/* gain can be calculated from CREG1 as 2^(13 - CREG1_GAIN) */
	return BIT(AS73211_CREG1_GAIN_1_NON_SHIFTED - FIELD_GET(AS73211_CREG1_GAIN_MASK, data->creg1));
}

---- or ----

#define AS73211_CREG1_GAIN_1 FIELD_PREP(AS73211_CREG1_GAIN_MASK, 13)

static unsigned int as73211_gain(struct as73211_data *data)
{
	/* gain can be calculated from CREG1 as 2^(13 - CREG1_GAIN) */
	return BIT(FIELD_GET(AS73211_CREG1_GAIN_MASK, AS73211_CREG1_GAIN_1) - FIELD_GET(AS73211_CREG1_GAIN_MASK, data->creg1));
}

devm_iio_device_alloc() doesn't pass 'dev' to iio_device_alloc().
I already looked around, but I didn't find. And after debugging
v5.4, devm_iio_device_alloc() definitely doesn't do it.

Sorry, my mistake! I already felt that something may be wrong here...
