The CONFIG register has two 3-bit fields for conversion time

This patch adds an 'update_interval' sysfs node through the
hwmon_chip_info of hwmon core. It reflects a total hardware
conversion time:
samples * channels * (Bus + Shunt conversion times)

Though INA3221 supports different conversion time setups for
Bus and Shunt voltages, this patch only adds the support of
a unified setting for both conversion times, by dividing the
conversion time into two equal values.

Hi Guenter,

I am not quite sure if this update_interval is the best way to
implement the conversion time settings but I can't find another
common approach. This implementation certainly has drawbacks:
1) It can't configure Bus and Shunt conversion times separately
(Not crucial for me at this point as I set them equally)
2) Users need to calculate for the settings of conversion time
3) The ABI defines update_interval in msec while the hardware
and datasheet does in usec, and that generates rounding diff
4) The update_interval value would be spontaneously modified
everytime number of samples or number of enabled channels
gets changed. This might confuses users who tries to have
a fixed update_interval other than really merely setting
conversion time.

I see IIO subsystem have something like IIO_CHAN_INFO_INT_TIME
for conversion time setting exclusively. Do we have something
similar under hwmon?


No. I think what you have should be good enough for now.
Please see comments below.

Thanks,
Guenter

It should be possible to update both conversion times with a single call,
since both calls touch only one register. Something like

ret = regmap_update_bits(ina->regmap, INA3221_CONFIG
INA3221_CONFIG_VBUS_CT_MASK | INA3221_CONFIG_VSH_CT_MASK,
(idx << INA3221_CONFIG_VBUS_CT_SHIFT) | (idx << INA3221_CONFIG_VSH_CT_SHIFT));

Granted, that is a bit long, but it saves an extra i2c write operation.
