[PATCH 2/2] staging: pi433: add debugfs interface

From: Paulo Miguel Almeida
Date: Sun Jan 23 2022 - 02:40:39 EST


This adds debugfs interface that can be used for debugging possible
hardware/software issues.

It currently exposes the following debugfs entries for each SPI device
probed:

/sys/kernel/debug/pi433/<DEVICE>/regs
...

The 'regs' file contains all rf69 uC registers values that are useful
for troubleshooting misconfigurations between 2 devices. It contains one
register per line so it should be easy to use normal filtering tools to
find the registers of interest if needed.

Meta-comments:

- I'm not entirely sure if I'm allowed to add additional dependencies to Kconfig
the way I did or if I should surround debugfs routines with
#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_FS. I saw both approaches couldn't put my finger on which
one is the 'right' way here. I'm taking suggestions :)

- I saw that in some other drivers there is a tendency to have debugfs routines
in a separate file such as debugfs.c and in that way this allows for smaller
files (which I do like) and Makefile that build files based on selected
configs such as:

pi433-$(CONFIG_DEBUG_FS) += debugfs.o

The only way I could achieve such thing would be if I moved pi433_device struct
to pi433_if.h but I wanted to double check if reviewers would agree with this
approach first.
