Jon,

Please cc all the relevant subsystem lists...(done)

Sorry to say I'm pretty militant about attribute names.
My job is to ensure we end up with a generalizable set, consistent across lots of different sensor types. That consistency does restrict what is acceptable a lot more than would be true if we were only interested in light sensors. That's not say I'm not happy to have futher discussions on these points.

Otherwise, getting there. Various comments inline.

This should be in the patch body. Guessing output of git format-patch?
It's for use with git send-email and forms the email header.

WILL BE REMOVED FROM NEXT PATCH SUBMISSION - FOLLOWING THIS RESPONSE TO COMMENT

This certainly looks more general than that. It's not light sensor specific so should be in sysfs-bus-iio rather than the light related doc. Having said that it's also a rather non specific description / name.

I've been generally pushing against having this sort of power control as an explicit attribute in the iio abi simply because the right way to handle this is probably runtime power management. We did let a few drivers do this early on simply because they predated runtime PM. That framework has the advantage that it also allows for the bus to be turned off if no devices on it need to be talked to. It may be time to reopen the previous discussion of how to allow userspace to explicitly say it doesn't care if a device is powered up...

MOVED TO SYSFS-BUS-IIO DOC.
CHANGED TO POWER_STATE
NEED ABILITY FROM USERS SPACE TO TURN DEVICE ON/OFF (ALLOWS USERS TO CHANGE MULTIPLE NOMINAL OPS THEN OFF/ON vs OFF/ON FOR EACH CHANGE)
REMOVED "TAOS tsl258X" FROM ALL DOCUMENTATION REFERENCES.

Again, please get the mention of particular part out of the description.
Although it isn't explicitly specified (yet) for light sensors, we do have an equivalent (I think) of this assuming it is a linear relationship?
(google found me a datasheet so at least superficially I think it is).
That attribute is illuminance_calibscale (calib bit means it is applied on device or in driver rather than telling userspace what needs to be applied by it). (yikes, just noticed that this is wrong in tsl2563 where we have calibgain due to some inconsistency on my part a while back).

DONE - CHANGED NAME TO ILLUMANCE_CALIBSCALE
REMOVED THIS TEXT FROM DOC

Also avoid 'magic' numbers as seen here. There are a finite range of possible values, so have an extra attributes - here illuminance_calibscale_available which is read only and gives the string "1 8 16 111" and make illuminance_calibscale return -EINVAL if the value written is not one of these. sysfs_streq is really handy for this sort of matching.

Ok - HOWEVER, WITH RESPECT TO THIS: ONLY ALLOWED VALUES ARE 0-3 (INDEX RATHER THAN SCALE FACTOR - SINCE WE'RE USING A 2 PART/CHANNEL SCALE)
ADDED ILLUMINANCE_CALIBSCALE_AVAILABLE

Again, this is more general than just working for the tsl258x driver. That 2.7ms isn't though. Please make this a value in millisecs (fixed point) then deal with conversion to this base in the driver. On this one, it is closely related to the 'period' attributes that exist for various events. Perhaps illuminance_period is a more consistent name?

CHANGED TO SAMPLING_FREQUENCY
REMOVED FOR LIGHT DOC
ADDED SAMPLING_FREQUENCY_AVAILIABLE

This one needs more detail before I can comment. I can't figure out what it actually is!

als_target -> illuminance0_target

CHANGED TO ILLUMINANCE0_INPUT_TARGET

lux -> illuminance.
What units?
Sounds more general than the tsl258x to me so perhaps say that chip is an example of its use?

Sorry, lux is a unit. Attributes are named after what is being measured. Hence illuminance. Might seem reasonable to use the unit, but then what would we do for acceleration (m/s^2)? I guess we can reopen this debate again if you are really attached to lux... Also needs to be illuminance0_input. The input specifices that it is in the base unit (lux) rather than raw. We stick to this form to maintain compatiblity with hwmon which has been around a lot longer than us!

Please list devices. People tend to grep the tree for the part number of the device that they actually have hence it is useful to have them all explicitly listed here. In combination with the id table listing them all this also tends to tell people if the developer thinks it will work with the part they have.

That's 'interesting'. This will make the calibscale discussion above more complex. I guess no userspace is going to care about the precise internal multipliers so a 'rough' value would probably do in that attribute. What do you think?

This is the one case where checkpatch warnings should be ignored.
Please keep strings like this on a single line as people who see them in a log will grep for them in the source code. Artificial breaks like this make them a lot harder to find! - DONE

Should be the relevant endian conversion function. be16tocpu or similar (haven't thought about which). That way it's free on one endianness of machine.

Really the right thing to do? Surely you want to return an out of range error? Perhaps ERANGE so userspace knows the value is garbage. - NO - COULD BE DUE TO SATURATION - IN WHICH CASE USERSPACE SOULD KNOW IT'S AT LIMIT.

Use kzalloc instead of kmalloc then you don't need the memset. - GREAT - DONE

Please can we have an explicit list if ID's here. If a person has a tsl2580 then they'll want to say that in their board file. - DONE INCLUDES ALL FAMILY DEVICES

On that note, I skipped this originally as there were bigger fish to fry, but can we be sure that there will never be a value of x that this driver won't work for? If not, please follow convention and pick your favourite part number from the range and replace all x's in the driver appropriately. Too many part manufacturers have really weird naming schemes that tend to break wild cards like this!

DONE - DRIVER NAME TO TSL2583 - ALSO SUPPORTS 2580,81 - AS STATED IN KCONFIG HELP
