Peter Rosin 00c5f80c2f iio: inkern: add helpers to query available values from channels
Specifically a helper for reading the available maximum raw value of a
channel and a helper for forwarding read_avail requests for raw values
from one iio driver to an iio channel that is consumed.

These rather specific helpers are in turn built with generic helpers
making it easy to build more helpers for available values as needed.

Jonathan Cameron 5123960007 iio:core: add a callback to allow drivers to provide _available attributes
A large number of attributes can only take a limited range of values.
Currently in IIO this is handled by directly registering additional
*_available attributes thus providing this information to userspace.

It is desirable to provide this information via the core for much the same
reason this was done for the actual channel information attributes in the
first place.  If it isn't there, then it can only really be accessed from
userspace.  Other in kernel IIO consumers have no access to what valid
parameters are.

Two forms are currently supported:
* list of values in one particular IIO_VAL_* format.
	e.g. 1.300000 1.500000 1.730000
* range specification with a step size:
	e.g. [1.000000 0.500000 2.500000]
	equivalent to 1.000000 1.5000000 2.000000 2.500000

An addition set of masks are used to allow different sharing rules for the
*_available attributes generated.

This allows for example:

in_accel_x_offset
in_accel_y_offset
in_accel_offset_available.

We could have gone with having a specification for each and every
info_mask element but that would have meant changing the existing userspace
ABI.  This approach does not.

Alison Schofield 08a3380551 iio: core: implement iio_device_{claim|release}_direct_mode()
It is often the case that the driver wants to be sure a device stays
in direct mode while it is executing a task or series of tasks.  To
accomplish this today, the driver performs this sequence: 1) take the
device state lock, 2) verify it is not in a buffered mode, 3) execute
some tasks, and 4) release that lock.

This patch introduces a pair of helper functions that simplify these
steps and make it more semantically expressive.

iio_device_claim_direct_mode()
        If the device is not in any buffered mode it is guaranteed
        to stay that way until iio_release_direct_mode() is called.

iio_device_release_direct_mode()
        Release the claim. Device is no longer guaranteed to stay
        in direct mode.

Lars-Peter Clausen c689a923c8 iio: Add inverse unit conversion macros
Add inverse unit conversion macro to convert from standard IIO units to
units that might be used by some devices.

Those are useful in combination with scale factors that are specified as
IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL. Typically the denominator for those specifications will
contain the maximum raw value the sensor will generate and the numerator
the value it maps to in a specific unit. Sometimes datasheets specify those
in different units than the standard IIO units (e.g. degree/s instead of
rad/s) and so we need to do a unit conversion.

From a mathematical point of view it does not make a difference whether we
apply the unit conversion to the numerator or the inverse unit conversion
to the denominator since (x / y) / z = x / (y * z). But as the denominator
is typically a larger value and we are rounding both the numerator and
denominator to integer values using the later method gives us a better
precision (E.g. the relative error is smaller if we round 8000.3 to 8000
rather than rounding 8.3 to 8).

This is where in inverse unit conversion macros will be used.

Marked for stable as used by some upcoming fixes.

Octavian Purdila f4f4673b75 iio: add support for hardware fifo
Some devices have hardware buffers that can store a number of samples
for later consumption. Hardware usually provides interrupts to notify
the processor when the FIFO is full or when it has reached a certain
watermark level. This helps with reducing the number of interrupts to
the host processor and thus it helps decreasing the power consumption.

This patch enables usage of hardware FIFOs for IIO devices in
conjunction with software device buffers. When the hardware FIFO is
enabled the samples are stored in the hardware FIFO. The samples are
later flushed to the device software buffer when the number of entries
in the hardware FIFO reaches the hardware watermark or when a flush
operation is triggered by the user when doing a non-blocking read
on an empty software device buffer.

In order to implement hardware FIFO support the device drivers must
implement the following new operations: setting and getting the
hardware FIFO watermark level, flushing the hardware FIFO to the
software device buffer. The device must also expose information about
the hardware FIFO such it's minimum and maximum watermark and if
necessary a list of supported watermark values. Finally, the device
driver must activate the hardware FIFO when the device buffer is
enabled, if the current device settings allows it.

The software device buffer watermark is passed by the IIO core to the
device driver as a hint for the hardware FIFO watermark. The device
driver can adjust this value to allow for hardware limitations (such
as capping it to the maximum hardware watermark or adjust it to a
value that is supported by the hardware). It can also disable the
hardware watermark (and implicitly the hardware FIFO) it this value is
below the minimum hardware watermark.

Since a driver may support hardware FIFO only when not in triggered
buffer mode (due to different semantics of hardware FIFO sampling and
triggered sampling) this patch changes the IIO core code to allow
falling back to non-triggered buffered mode if no trigger is enabled.

Irina Tirdea 2f0ecb7c65 iio: core: Introduce IIO_CHAN_INFO_DEBOUNCE_COUNT and _TIME
The pedometer needs to filter out false steps that might be generated by
tapping the foot, sitting, etc. To do that it computes the number of
steps that occur in a given time and decides the user is moving only

if he takes 4 steps in 3 seconds. This filter is applied only when
the user starts moving.

Irina Tirdea a88bfe7858 iio: core: Introduce STEPS channel, ENABLE mask and INSTANCE event
These changes are needed to support the functionality of a pedometer.
A pedometer has two basic functionalities: step counter and step detector.

The step counter needs to be enabled and then it will count the steps
in its hardware register. Whenever the application needs to check
the step count, it will read the step counter register. To support the
step counter a new channel type STEPS is added. Since the pedometer needs
to be enabled first so that the hardware can count and store the steps,
we need a specific ENABLE channel info mask.

The step detector will generate an interrupt each time a step is detected.
To support this functionality we add a new event type INSTANCE.

For more information on the Android requirements for step counter and step
detector see:
http://source.android.com/devices/sensors/composite_sensors.html#counter
and http://source.android.com/devices/sensors/composite_sensors.html#detector.

Lars-Peter Clausen b4e3ac0a20 iio: Extend the event config interface
The event configuration interface of the IIO framework has not been getting the
same attention as other parts. As a result it has not seen the same improvements
as e.g. the channel interface has seen with the introduction of the channel spec
struct. Currently all the event config callbacks take a u64 (the so called event
code) to pass all the different information about for which event the callback
is invoked. The callback function then has to extract the information it is
interested in using some macros with rather long names. Most information encoded
in the event code comes straight from the iio_chan_spec struct the event was
registered for. Since we always have a handle to the channel spec when we call
the event callbacks the first step is to add the channel spec as a parameter to
the event callbacks. The two remaining things encoded in the event code are the
type and direction of the event. Instead of passing them in one parameter, add
one parameter for each of them and remove the eventcode from the event
callbacks. The patch also adds a new iio_event_info parameter to the
{read,write}_event_value callbacks. This makes it possible, similar to the
iio_chan_info_enum for channels, to specify additional properties other than
just the value for an event. Furthermore the new interface will allow to
register shared events. This is e.g. useful if a device allows configuring a
threshold event, but the threshold setting is the same for all channels.

To implement this the patch adds a new iio_event_spec struct which is similar to
the iio_chan_spec struct. It as two field to specify the type and the direction
of the event. Furthermore it has a mask field for each one of the different
iio_shared_by types. These mask fields holds which kind of attributes should be
registered for the event. Creation of the attributes follows the same rules as
the for the channel attributes. E.g. for the separate_mask there will be a
attribute for each channel with this event, for the shared_by_type there will
only be one attribute per channel type. The iio_chan_spec struct gets two new
fields, 'event_spec' and 'num_event_specs', which is used to specify which the
events for this channel. These two fields are going to replace the channel's
event_mask field.

For now both the old and the new event config interface coexist, but over the
few patches all drivers will be converted from the old to the new interface.
Once that is done all code for supporting the old interface will be removed.

Peter Meerwald 899d90bdf4 iio: Add INT_TIME (integration time) channel info attribute
Integration time is in seconds; it controls the measurement
time and influences the gain of a sensor.

There are two typical ways that scaling is implemented in a device:
1) input amplifier,
2) reference to the ADC is changed.
These both result in the accuracy of the ADC varying (by applying its
sampling over a more relevant range).

Integration time is a way of dealing with noise inherent in the analog
sensor itself.  In the case of a light sensor, a mixture of photon noise
and device specific noise.  Photon noise is dealt with by either improving
the efficiency of the sensor, (more photons actually captured) which is not
easily varied dynamically, or by integrating the measurement over a longer
time period.  Note that this can also be thought of as an averaging of a
number of individual samples and is infact sometimes implemented this way.
Altering integration time implies that the duration of a measurement changes,
a fact the device's user may be interested in.

Hence it makes sense to distinguish between integration time and simple
scale. In some devices both types of control are present and whilst they
will have similar effects on the amplitude of the reading, their effect
on the noise of the measurements will differ considerably.

Used by adjd_s311, tsl4531, tcs3472
The following drivers have similar controls (and could be adapted):
* tsl2563 (integration time is controlled via CALIBSCALE among other things)
* tsl2583 (has integration_time device_attr, but driver doesn't use channels yet)
* tsl2x7x (has integration_time attr)

Add a resource managed devm_iio_device_alloc()/devm_iio_device_free()
to automatically clean up any allocations made by IIO drivers,
thus leading to simplified IIO drivers code.

In addition, this will allow IIO drivers to use other devm_*() API
(like devm_request_irq) and don't care about the race between
iio_device_free() and the release of resources by Device core
during driver removing.

Alexandre Belloni 1c297a6665 iio: Fix iio_channel_has_info
Since the info_mask split, iio_channel_has_info() is not working correctly.
info_mask_separate and info_mask_shared_by_type, it is not possible to compare
them directly with the iio_chan_info_enum enum. Correct that bit using the BIT()
macro.

Lars-Peter Clausen 9dbf8ccde1 iio: Add some helper macros for unit conversion
Some datasheets use a different unit to specify the channel scale than what IIO
expects it to be. This patch adds two helper macros which allow to convert units
commonly used in datasheets to IIO units:

 * acceleration: g -> meter / second**2
 * angular velocity: degree (/ second) -> rad (/ second)

This makes it much more convenient to specify and also easier to verify a
channel's scale attribute.

Add a function to read a processed value from a channel. The function will first
attempt to read the IIO_CHAN_INFO_PROCESSED attribute. If that fails it will
read the IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW attribute and convert the result from a raw value to
a processed value.

The patch also introduces a function to convert raw value to a processed value
and exports it, in case a user needs or wants to do the conversion by itself.
