[PATCH v3 0/7] Introduce IIO interface for Android advanced features

From: Daniel Baluta
Date: Tue Oct 28 2014 - 06:19:38 EST


This patchset introduces a new interface for supporting some of the composite
sensors in Android [1]. First supported sensors are activity and pedometer.

This is a follow up of the discussion about adding new channels to IIO
initiated some time ago on IIO list [2].

A device that has the activity/pedometer functionality is Freescale's MMA9553L ([3]).

Because we don't have yet the hardware, to demonstrate these new channels we
update iio_dummy kernel module and iio_event_monitor test program. We want
to get an early feedback about extending the IIO interface in the correct
direction.

Changes since v2: (comments from Jonathan and Hartmut)
* dropped the RFC tag
* use int instead of unsigned long for ret in iio_evgen_poke
* remove TRANSITION event and use THRESHOLD instead
* remove IIO_HEIGHT channel and use CALIBHEIGHT mask instead
* adapt iio_dummy modules and iio_event_monitor to reflect IIO
interface changes.
