First round of new device support, features and cleanups for IIO in the 4.11 cycle.
It's shaping to be another fairly busy cycle. Lots more on the way!
New device support
* ads7950
- new driver supporting ads7950, ads7951, ads7952, ads7953, ads7954,
ads7955, ads7956, ads7957, ads7958, ads7959, ads7960, and ads7961 ADCs.
* cm3605
- New driver for this light sensor and proximity sensor which is an
analog part with some additional digital controls.
* hx711
- New driver.
Core new stuff
* Gravity sensor type. This is a processed datastream in which the device
will try to work out which way is down.
* Split the buffer.h file into two parts. One provides the interface to 'use'
a buffer, the second provides the internals of the buffer functionality as
needed by implementations of buffers.
- Move documentation inline so as to allow use of private: tag when
generating documentation.
- Add some utility functions for the few things that are directly done
with the buffers.
- Stop exporting functions that no-one uses outside of the core code.
- Push docs down by the code in the c file where they should have always
been.
- Fix typo in kernel-doc for buffer.
- push down some includes that were previously happening implicitly.
- stop enabling the timestamp of the dummy device.
Features and cleanups
* ad5592r
- ACPI support
* ad5593r
-ACPI support.
* ad5933
- Fix a false comment about size of a particular register.
* ad7150
- replace S_IRUGO | S_IWUSR with 0644. I'm not that keen on these patches
in general, but as it was nicely presented I took this one anyway. As a
general rule will only take these as part of a larger driver cleanup.
- don't eat an error but rather reutnr it in the write_event_config callback.
* ad7606
- replace non standard range attibute with _scale
* ade7753
- use usleep_range for short sleeps
* ade7754
- use usleep_range for short sleeps
* ade7758
- use usleep_range for short sleeps
* ade7759
- use usleep_range for short sleeps
* ade7854
- use usleep_range for short sleeps
* adis16201
- fix description
* adis16203
- fix description
- fix copyright year
* adis16209
- fix description
* adt7316
- Add braces to arms of if else statement (for consistency)
- Alignment fixes.
* axp288
- Fix up an issue with accidental overwrites of data.
* bmi160
- add deivce tables for i2c and spi to support correctly identifying the
full dt name (including manufacturer).
- device tree binding.
* bmp280
- use usleep_range for short sleeps.
* cm3232
- return error from cm3232_reg_init rather than eating it if the last write
fails.
* dummy driver
- remove a semicolor found at end of a function defintition.
* exynos-adc
- use usleep_range for short sleeps.
* hid-sensor (accel)
- Add timestamp support. The hardware can provide timestamps so lets support
them. If not fall back to timestamps estimated in kernel.
* hid-sensor (light)
- Add a duplicate ID for the light channels so as to keep existing interface
whilst also using the more standard IIO interface.
* hts221
- acpi probing
* imx25-gcq
- Add a macro call to allow this driver to be automatically loaded.
* isl29028
- reorganise code to avoid deep nesting of if statements.
- move chip test and default regs into a function suitable or sharing with
power management code.
- tidy up some code alignment.
* lidar-lite-v3
- introduce compatible strings that make it clear Garmin have consideral
friends.
* mma8452
- avoid returning signed value when unsigned is appropriate
* spmi-vadc
- Update function for generic voltage conversion to take into account that
different channels on this device should be handled differently.
- Rework code to allow per channel voltage scaling and support the standard
options for this hardware.
- Fixup three minor issues with the above patches for this part. These all
effect test builds rather than the native builds for the part, but good to
clean them up anyway.
* st_sensors
- support device matching from the ACPI DST tables.
- acpi based probing for accelerometers
- acpi based probing for pressure sensors
- Allow pressure sensors to read negative values.
- Export sampling frequency for lps25h and lps331ap.
- Add support for the old DT bindings from the period when these deivces
were often supported through windows.
Docs fixup:
* typo in sysfs-bus-iio
