[PATCH v3 0/3] BMI270: Add support for step counter and motion events
From: Gustavo Silva
Date: Mon Jun 16 2025 - 19:53:31 EST
This series adds support for step counter and motion events using
interrupts in the BMI270 driver.
The step counter can be enabled, disabled, and configured with a
watermark, all from userspace.
Any-motion and no-motion events are generated by detecting changes
in acceleration on each axis.

Changes in v3:
- Avoid the usage of set_mask_bits() macro on 16-bit integers,
use the bitwise operators instead
- Fix indentation, alignment and style issues
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250605-bmi270-events-v2-0-8b2c07d0c213@xxxxxxxxx
Changes in v2:
- Reduce the scope of mutex lock when clearing the step counter
- Change the type of the 'steps_enabled' variable from int to bool
- Add a new DMA safe variable to the device's private data to access the
feature registers
- Remove unnecessary mutex lock
- Fix a build error found by the kernel test robot by initializing a
local variable in the `bmi270_update_feature_reg()` function
- Remove dead code in the `bmi270_write_event_config()` function
- Add macro definitions and corresponding datasheet references for
relevant constants: step counter maximum value, step counter factor,
and threshold upper limit
- Remove the event bitmask from the device's private data. Read the
registers directly to retrieve this information instead
- Use IIO_UNMOD_EVENT_CODE instead of IIO_MOD_EVENT_CODE where
appropriate
- Fix shadowed error codes
- Change motion event to be enabled on a per-axis basis
- Create pseudo channel of type accel_x&y&z for the no-motion event
- Change no-motion event type to IIO_EV_TYPE_ROC
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250424-bmi270-events-v1-0-a6c722673e5f@xxxxxxxxx
