[PATCH v2 00/10] LIS3: Feature updates and corrections

From: Samu Onkalo
Date: Tue Nov 10 2009 - 07:43:55 EST


This patch set has earlier been sent to lm-sensors list (thus patch v2).
No changes after that except to patch 0006 to make it applicable to
2.6.32-rc6 (no functional changes).

There has been discussion on lm-sensors list about the patch
"lis3: Scale output values to mg (0009)". It causes changes to
existing user space applications.
See link below about this discussion:
http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2009-November/027101.html

Patches are applicable to top of 2.6.32-RC6.

This patch set makes several changes to the lis3 accelerometer chip
family driver. There are also two patches from Eric Piel.

I have possibility to test these changes only with 8 bit version (lis302d).
Since part of the changes are specific to 12 bit device, I would appreciate
if someone could try these on 12 bit device.

0001:
Sync event is sent after each measurement. This helps user space
applications to detect which 3 reported values belongs to
one atomic measurement.

0002:
polled input device was not totally released in module unload.
This corrects memory leak.

0003:
This patch is originally from Eric Piel.
Updates documentation and chip ID handling

0004:
This patch is originally from Eric Piel.
Correction to sampling rate handling for 8 bit devices

0005:
Chip power on sequence was not waiting for chip to be ready.
This caused incorrect values right after the power on.

0006:
Chip specifications contains selftest for the chip. This patch implements that.

0007:
Calibration functionality is removed from the driver. Chip is allready
calibrated by the manufacturer. SW calibration doesn't improve the situation.

0008:
Added possibility to set chip sampling rate. Position entry in sysfs
allows reading at sampling rate.

0009:
Scale output values to mg (1/1000 of earth gravity). (see comments above)

0010:
Updates documentation


Samu Onkalo (8):
LIS3LV02D: Send sync event
LIS3LV02D: Correct memory leak in module unload
LIS3LV02D: Proper power on sequence
LIS3LV02D: Selftest support
LIS3LV02D: Remove calibaration functionality
lis3: Sysfs entry for setting chip measurement rate
lis3: Scale output values to mg
LIS3: Update documentation to match latest changes

Ã?ric Piel (2):
lis3: Update documentation and comments
lis3: fix show rate for 8 bits chips
